--text follows this line-- Package: www.debian.org Severity: normal
Hello everybody, in the web page http://www.debian.org/Bugs/ i.e. in the (source?) file http://www.debian.org/Bugs/index.en.html the list that explains how to make a query by visiting URLs of the following forms is out of date. Here follows the old code: --------html--------OLDER code--------------- <ul> <li><tt>http://bugs.debian.org/<var>number</var></tt> <li><tt>http://bugs.debian.org/mbox:<var>number</var></tt> <li><tt>http://bugs.debian.org/<var>package</var></tt> <li><tt>http://bugs.debian.org/src:<var>sourcepackage</var></tt> <li><tt>http://bugs.debian.org/<var>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</var></tt> <li><tt>http://bugs.debian.org/from:<var>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</var></tt> <li><tt>http://bugs.debian.org/severity:<var>severity</var></tt> <li><tt>http://bugs.debian.org/tag:<var>tag</var></tt> </ul> -----------/html--------------- The code above shall[1] be substituted by a code like that: -----html---- <ul> <li><tt>http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=<var>number</var></tt> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -----html---- ..... and so on. I have just provided a patch to solve this issue, please, find it attached. [1] Shall? Actually I think that the code I wrote -albeit correct- is *very _UN_helpful* for the people. It is very long, not so intuitive as the older code. May I suggest you to remove such list from the web page? If you think that the list still makes sense, you can simply apply the patch.
