Debian web-master, if we could just give ownership of a directory,
say, /releases/{slink,potato}/reports to John, I would
appreciate it and John would.

We currently have something that pushes events that happen in the past into links by year. Events that are in the future appear on the main page. At first I wanted to have future events hidden as well, but after thinking about how long it takes to plan an event our current method is better then hiding the future. What do you think?

Why not make it part of the wml system?

upstream concerns
I'm maintaining scwm; Greg Badros, an upstream author, contacted me about the page http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/pa/lscwm.html. This page is a bit misleading: "Maintainer for scwm is Francesco Tapparo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. " He would like better something as: "Scwm is written by Greg J. Badros and Maciej Stachowiak. Scwm's home web site is: scwm.mit.edu. The maintainer for the Debian scwm package is Francesco Tapparo..." and links to the upstream scwm page. I agree with Greg. So I think would be very useful if the script generating the pages would be updated to properly use an "Upstream Maintainer/s" and an "Upstream Web Page" fields in the packages. Is this feasible or it's hard? I'm not sure I've the needed skillful for the job (I do'nt master html), but I can try. cheers -- Francesco Tapparo| [EMAIL PROTECTED] fight for your software freedoms: www.fsf.org| [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Unfortunately, we don't currently have a mechanism for easily finding this info. Until that happens, such links won't be created automatically. :( If the upstream author would like links added to the description (which are simply taken from the description the maintainer writes), then he should ask the package maintainer. BTW, many authors of software like our current system so that bug reports get filtered through the package maintainer. The maintainer can then filter packaging problems from the reports so the author doesn't get burdened with Debian specific problems. > I agree with Greg.

Actually putting the information on the web page is trivial. The fields you describe don't exist. I have asked many times for a way to unambiguously access such info, but to no avail (adding it to the Packages files is not the way to go. They are too big already). Jay Treacy

There has been talk about adding those tag lines but nothing has ever been settled. The other thought.. the bug pages were not designed for giving out that sort of information. If a person wants to know, they can (and should) go to the copyright file in /usr/doc.. that's what the file is for. It might be possible to make a small change: say "Debian Maintainer for..." instead. The final problem is who "owns" the BTS output.

*Darren O. Benham wrote: > Why not make it part of the wml system? I looked at the cover page for wml. I am not sure wether it is well suited. Probably yes. The pages are mostly very long lists. They are generated by overly-complicated perl scripts. The links at top and bottom could be standard. They are added by hand at this point (I thinkd Adam diC. did it). Unfortunatley, I don't want to take the time now to convert the pages. I don't know if I can find the time before the next release. In the interim, the easiest solution would be to give me write access to a directory, and I can update it manually every week.

Is it ok if we give John CVS access? He can then check in all the
files he wants under the releases directory. I'll even create the
Makefile(s) needed to install the files.
As far as wml goes, it isn't essential, but it doest give the
web site a consistent look. Also, if the look of the pages
change, the pages are updated automatically. All he needs to
do is the following for every page:
#use wml::debian::template title="TITLE OF PAGE"
BODY_OF_PAGE
No , , or tags are needed. :)
How does this sound?
