Bug#177669: www.debian.org: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/allpackages.html too big
Package: www.debian.org
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-01-21
Severity: wishlist
http://packages.debian.org/*/allpackages.html is over 1 meg.
please put warnings on their parent pages.
BTW, tidy(1) shows tons of: Warning: <font> attribute "color" has invalid value "FF0000"
also there, please make a link:
list of packages added, updated within the last week, month.
BTW, what is <BODY> doing deep in http://packages.debian.org/unstable/allpackages.html
<dt><a href="web/libroxen-sexybody.html">libroxen-sexybody</a> 0.2-7
<dd><BODY> tag replacement module for the Roxen Challenger web server
<dt><a href="web/libroxen-simplenews.html">libroxen-simplenews</a> 2.7-7
some mostly offline folks might just want a quick diet checklist of
current package numbers,
3dwm-clock 0.3.1-11
3dwm-csgclient 0.3.1-11
3dwm-geoclient 0.3.1-11
3dwm-pickclient 0.3.1-11
3dwm-server 0.3.1-11
3dwm-texclient 0.3.1-11
one could use this makefile
B=http://packages.debian.org/unstable/allpackages.html
t=/tmp/f
$t:
lynx -dump -nolist $B|sed -n '/^ [^ ]/s/...//p'|sed '1{/About/d;};/^$$/,$$d' > $@
asv: $t #see what is newer than last time I got Packages.gz
apt-show-versions -u |sed 's#/.* # #'|sort|join - $t|awk '$$2!=$$3'
or better yet, you could put a $t.gz on the site... less than 100K
instead of the 1000 K download... may be better ways.
