Bug#87725: suggesting new links to access package web pages.
Package: www.debian.org
Version: 2001-02-26
Severity: wishlist
In recent times, we've seen BTS enhancements such as:
- BTS access: http://bugs.debian.org/PKGNAME
- Package search list: http://packages.debian.org/PKGNAME
In a similar fashion, might I suggest a direct route to package
web pages:
Instead of (or in addition to):
http://packages.debian.org/stable/SECTION/PKGNAME.html
http://packages.debian.org/testing/SECTION/PKGNAME.html
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/SECTION/PKGNAME.html
Have:
http://packages.debian.org/stable/PKGNAME.html
http://packages.debian.org/testing/PKGNAME.html
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/PKGNAME.html
This way, one doesn't need to know the section of a packge to
look it up.
These pages should still function, showing the list of packages
in a section:
http://packages.debian.org/stable/SECTION/
http://packages.debian.org/testing/SECTION/
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/SECTION/
Thanks,
