w.d.o/devel/website/using-cvs points you to
http://people.debian.org/~joey/misc/webwml.html
(I wonder why that is not on the website instead of in p.d.o). Basicly mail
webmaster@debian.org (Matt Krai and Josip Rodin) and Cc: joey@debian.org.

Ok.

Doesn't work (wget)=:
--16:03:35-- http://db.debian.org/debian-admin/wanna-build_2004.09.06.deb
(...)
16:09:29 ERROR 404: Not Found.
Actually it's
http://db.debian.org/debian-admin/wanna-build_2004.09.06.tar.gz
However the changelog says:
wanna-build (2004.09.06) unstable; urgency=high
* Initial non-release. [*DO NOT USE THESE DEBS*]

:-?
The sources are _really_ different from those found in the m68k CVS
(from diffstat: 47 files changed, 764 insertions(+), 3505 deletions(-))

They are somewhat different (configuration files are located in different
places) and Roger Leigh's version does provide manual pages for all of the
buildd commands (wanna-build, wanna-build-mail, wanna-build-statistics,
wanna-build-update...). Also, the version at db.debian.org provides some
functionality that is missing in Roger's (like a 'clean-db' call to
wanna-build). However, I'm not sure if the security fix that was recently
introduced was included in those packages... It looks like it was not, is
this it:
- if (!/^(\S+)\s*(\(\s*(>>|>=)\s*(\S+)\s*\))?\s*$/) {
+ if (!/^(\S+)\s*(\(\s*([<=>]+)\s*(\S+)\s*\))?\s*$/) {
return 0 if $verify;
- warn( "parse_deplist: bad dependency $_\n" );
+ logger( "parse_deplist: bad dependency $_\n" );
next;
}
These forks are really messy :-(
