I don't mind where the Debian patches display happens but as we already have the patch-tracker.d.o code it should either get deployed or the relevant parts merged into debsources. The objective should be to show Debian patches to upstream and other distros. This bug report isn't the place to co-ordinate that though, please contact Henri about it and maybe CC debian-qa. For the "Debian patches" link in the proposed patch panel, tracker.d.o will only need a list of packages that have patches, nothing more. For the "Derivatives patches" link, the initial implementation will only need a list of packages that have patches, which we now have. http://deriv.debian.net/sources.patches.pts Further down the line I'd like to have more useful ways to track patches from derivatives, mark them as merged, obsolete, derivative-specific, not useful and so on. This would probably live in the tracker.d.o interface and maybe be based on the dex stuff from a while ago. The meta-data for this is also already implemented: http://deriv.debian.net/sources.patches For other patch links I guess it would depend on services existing that produce the patch metadata we need in an index. We can always harmonise formats when they actually exist. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
