Bug#948969: malformed URI in the wnpp pages produces "Tidy validation failed" messages
Package: www.debian.org
User: www.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: design
Severity: normal
Dear all
When the website builds */devel/wnpp folder, there is a RFH bug that generates a
malformed URI, and thus producing several "Tidy validation failed" messages each
day, of the type:
*** /srv/www.debian.org/www/devel/wnpp/help_requested.sv.html
line 182 column 136 - Warning: <a> escaping malformed URI reference
The HTML code generated by the english/devel/wnpp/wnpp.pl script is like this one:
---
<li><a href="https://bugs.debian.org/945468";>pgq, pgqd, pgq-node, python-pgq,
python-skytools, londiste: Queuing for PostgreSQL</a>, (<a
href="https://packages.debian.org/src:pgq, pgqd, pgq-node, python-pgq,
python-skytools, londiste">package info</a>),
requested 50 days ago.
---
Such info is extracted from the RFH bug report #945468, with subject:
RFH: pgq, pgqd, pgq-node, python-pgq, python-skytools, londiste -- Queuing for
PostgreSQL
I guess the issue is that the 'name' of the package extracted from the bug
contains blanks and semicolons.
I'm not sure how to solve this. Things that come to mind:
1.- asking the maintainer to file a RFH bug per package.
2.- somebody to improve wnpp.pl script to take care about these things (sorry, I
have no spoons/skills for that).
3.- Any other idea?
For now, I'm filing this bug report so the issue is registered and we can point
translators/web team members to this info if they ask about the Tidy validation
failed messages.
Kind regards,
