Bug#859123: automate import of DLAs and DSAs in www.debian.org
Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal
According to carnil in a discussion on the debian-lts@ mailing list,
DLAs and DSAs are manually imported in the website:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts/2017/03/msg00200.html
The process looks something like:
cd webwml/english/security
./parse-dla.pl $message
cvs add $year/dla-$nr.{wml,data}
cvs commit -m '[DLA $nr] $source security update'
where $message is the text of the DLA.
A similar script exists for DSAs, which is in parse-advisory.pl.
My question is: should this process be automated further? Is there a
way we could/should do this within the security team(s) directly?
I ask this because I wonder if we would have had the same problem with
the missing DLAs (in #859122) if the process would be automated.
Thanks!
