Hi, in bug #391023, this description of this field is given: + <tag><tt>XS-Vcs-*</tt> + <item> + (where <em>Vcs</em> is the acronym for <em>Version Control System</em>, + and <tt>*</tt> stands for one of the Vcs supported by the package + tracking system: <tt>bzr</tt>, <tt>cvs</tt>, <tt>darcs</tt>, + <tt>git</tt>, <tt>hg</tt>, <tt>svn</tt>, <tt>tla</tt>) + <p> + Value of this field should be an URL pointing to where the repository of + the given package is available. The information is meant to be useful for + the final user of the package in case he is looking for the latest work + done on the package (e.g. for the patch fixing a bug tagged as + <tt>pending</tt> in the bug tracking system). The URL should be meaningful + for the given Vcs and should better be version agnostic. If possible, the + URL should point to a resource accessible to the final user and from which + the latest repository snapshot can be easily obtained. + </p> + <p> + In the following example, an instance of the field for a Subversion + repository of the <package>vim</package> package is shown. Note how the + URL is in the <tt>svn://</tt> scheme (instead of <tt>svn+ssh://</tt>) and + how it points to the <file>trunk/</file> branch. + <example> + Source: vim + Section: editors + Priority: optional + <snip> + XS-Vcs-Svn: svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-vim/trunk/packages/vim + </example> + </p> + </item>
