However, the changelog returned from the http://cgi.debian.org/cgi-bin/get-changelog?package=XXX link is often out of synch with the latest version. Current examples: On Linkname: Debian GNU/Linux -- gdb URL: http://www.debian.org/Packages/unstable/devel/gdb.html with contents about Package: gdb 4.17.19981224-3.m68k.objc.threads.hwwp.fpu.gnat, Link that you currently have selected Linkname: changelog.Debian URL: http://cgi.debian.org/cgi-bin/get-changelog?package=gdb returns changelog with latest entry for gdb (4.17-4.m68k.objc.threads.hwwp.fpu.gnat.3). On Linkname: Debian GNU/Linux -- netbase URL: http://www.debian.org/Packages/unstable/base/netbase.html with contents about Package: netbase 3.11-3, Link that you currently have selected Linkname: changelog.Debian URL: http://cgi.debian.org/cgi-bin/get-changelog?package=netbase returns changelog with latest entry for netbase (3.11-1.2). On Linkname: Debian GNU/Linux -- mount URL: http://www.debian.org/Packages/unstable/base/mount.html with contents about Package: mount 2.9g-3, Link that you currently have selected Linkname: changelog.Debian URL: http://cgi.debian.org/cgi-bin/get-changelog?package=mount returns changelog with latest entry for mount (2.8a-1.2). I have checked that this is not a caching problem on my end.

The links to those scripts have been removed and I am closing the bug reports related to these scripts. We will implement something of the sort again, eventually. If anyone wants to submit a wishlist bug to get this functionality back, you can, but we're already well aware of the issue so I wouldn't bother. :| Sorry. :/ -- Digital Electronic Being Intended for Assassination and Nullification
