Bug#952522: udd/autoremovals.cgi: please make it clear that the packages in "deps" lines are source packages
Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
some lines in https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/autoremovals.cgi have the
pattern:
foo: buggy deps bar, flagged for removal in X days
As the maintainer of foo (in my current case foo is src:botch) I was
wondering how it was possible for my package foo to depend on bar. I
generated the reverse dependency closure for foo but the package bar did
not show up. In #debian-release I then learned that bar is actually a
source package. Please adjust the above line to make this clear. The
fact that the line talked about a dependency (I assume that this is what
deps stands for) made me think that bar was a binary package because
there are no dependencies on source packages. Here some ideas:
foo: buggy deps on source bar, flagged for removal in X days
foo: buggy deps on src:bar, flagged for removal in X days
foo: buggy deps on package(s) building from bar, flagged for removal in X days
I would've attached a patch but was blocked by #952521 :)
Thanks!
cheers, josch
