Hello all,
Thanks Cyril for your work here.
We're trying to fix all the issues so the migration of www-master to
buster can be done as soon as possible.
I'll comment on the issues you found:
1. Changes related to canonicalization(?) of the URL
The files affected are:
1.1.- */News/news.*.rdf (all languages)
All those files are built using /english/News/news.rdf.in which includes
this line:
<?xml-stylesheet href="$(HOME)/security/dsa-rdf.css" type="text/css"?>
it seems that the variable $(HOME) is interpreted differently by the
make or wml commands in buster.
I have played with the "-D HOME~." line in /english/.wmlrc but it does
not solve the issue.
The file is built (in english and all the other languages except
Chinese) by lines 36-37 of the /english/News/Makefile:
$(WML) $(shell egrep '^-D (CUR_|CHAR)' ../.wmlrc) \
$(ENGLISHDIR)/News/news.rdf.in
If I change that to
$(WML) $(shell egrep '^-D (CUR_|CHAR)' ../.wmlrc) news.rdf.in
then the English file is built with correct URL to the CSS, but the
other languages fail.
I don't know how to solve this, except using an absolute reference to
the CSS file in the /english/News/news.rdf.in instead of the $(HOME)
variable.
1.2. */sitemap.*.html (all languages)
I guess it's the same problem (that the $(HOME) variable is used and
interpreted wrongly with the new make or wml), but this file and how it
is built is more cryptic for me so I wouldn't know how to start.
The sitemap would be completely broken until this issue is fixed, if we
migrate www-master to buster :/
Help needed!
2. Changes in mail address representation
I confirm this happens but it's indeed random changes in the addresses
obfuscation, so I don't consider this an issue.
3. Changes in a log file
Not important (and probably we shouldn't provide the card there, maybe
in the debian-flyers repo?)
4. Changes in ordering of coordinators
5. Changes in ordering under wnpp
6. Changes in order under l10n
8. More ordering changes (architectures, DSAs)
Thanks for reporting, and for the work towards reproducibility.
I think these are not blockers for the migration to buster of
www-master.debian.org
Maybe we could open a specific bug about these "reproducibility issues"
and see if somebody is willing/able to work on it?
7. Changes related to image width/height attributes
This is indeed as Julien commented, a bug in wml which is fixed in buster.
Thanks
