Bug#309768: packages.debian.org: changelog: standards-version parsed as telnet: link
Package: www.debian.org
Severity: minor
The changelogs accessible from packages.debian.org are parsed and
translated into HTML. If a changelog item contains a standards
version update, like this:
* standards version 3.6.1.0
(from
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/x/xlockmore/xlockmore_5.13-2/changelog
)
this number is then translated into a link to telnet://3.6.1.0 which is
obviously incorrect. I think the parser guesses that this is an
IP-address. Since standards versions appear commonly in these
changelogs, I wouldn't parse them this way.
Even more, I don't find it logical at all to link a random IP-address to the
telnet protocol... there's as much sense in that as in linking it with
FTP, HTTP, irc or any other protocol. Therefore I propose to drop the
IP-address-to-telnet-links-parsing entirely.
