I read again the DEP-5 document, which seems to insist on using a versioned url for this field. As soon as dep5 enters in debian-policy, and #609160 is closed, things will may become clearer about the definite url to use. > > > The problem with the url generated by gemdeb seems to come from the > > > op=file operand, which probably worked with wsvn, but does not with > > > viewvc.

I decided to just change the url point to a working version in the svn repository. We can change all the urls to dep.debian.net/deps/dep5 later. Some packages are using quite an old version of this document (rev 135 for ruby-gettext-activerecord for example), which is quite different from the current version. At least now, the Format urls should be working for the packages I have listed I my previous email. Best wishes, Cédric
