Bug#821096: www.debian.org: filenames of generated by parse-advisory.pl files should include the revision number of DSA

[Lev Lamberov <dogsleg@debian.org>]

Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Security Team issues revisions of DSAs, e. g. DSA-3485-1 and DSA-3485-2, but
currently parse-advisory cannot handle revisions file-wise. That is, it creates
dsa-3485.wml for the original DSA, but it is not so easy to create a revision
when the latter is issued, because file dsa-3485.wml already exists. So,
someone needs to, say, rename dsa-3485.wml, use parse-advisory to create a
source page for the revision, then rename both wml files: the original DSA
and its revision. To avoid that parse-advisory should add the revision number
to filename of generated wml file. Sometimes (like in dsa-3485-1 and dsa-3485-2
case) it is not so easy to change the text of dsa-3485 in such a way that it
would include both the original DSA and its revision, so it's better to store
them in separate files.

Cheers!
Lev Lamberov
