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,

I installed a new code version on packages.debian.org today and I
believe it fixes the following bugs:

#87725: packages.debian.org: suggesting new links to access package web
pages 

	Package URLs don't need to include the section anymore.

#364312: www.debian.org: new packages.d.o/changelog:$PACKAGE doesn't
work with libraries 

	The changelog package map is now updated more reliably.

#402911: md5sum is part of the url of packages.debian.org

	The download page now gets all information directly from the database.

#335011: www.debian.org: packages.debian.org isn't dynamic 

	Most of the content of packages.debian.org is now generated
	dynamically. Update times should get reduced dramatically.

#354920: Symlinks for release numbers and codenames on
packages.debian.org 

	packages.d.o now uses codenames by default and accepts
	suite names and version numbers as aliases

Gruesse,
