Bug#660961: www.debian.org: Long description of packages no longer shown

[Jari Aalto]

Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal

If you visit a page like:

   http://packages.debian.org/sid/makepasswd

There used to be long description of the package as well. It is no
longer displayed.

Please restore the long description as it provides useful information
about the package.

Arne, Axel and me talked about this to Luka at Fosdem - this problems seems
to be solved.

Same thing applies here: There seems to be just a misunderstanding. So the
workflow as I understood it is: Find an event, create a Wikipage, send
event-+wikilink to events@d.o and everything is fine. From there on the
event will be promoted and the organisation can happen in the wiki or via
mailinglist etc.

All in all I'm not opposed to the idea, but I would like to see the
position more as "this is a person you can freely ask if you want to
oganize an event in $location - not as an active member trying to
coordinate events.
As for the german ares I'd bring up Alexander Wirt, even I he most likely
won't have time. He's doing the merch stuff for this area - so just for the
sake of completeness :)

ACK.

\o/ Good thing!

So from my pov most of this matter is settled :)

Because we can.

[Anonymous]

Dear Sir or Madam,

regarding http://www.debian.org/ports/netbsd/why

"Because we can."

A very strange and harmful argument/reason. I _could_ possibly
kill someone, but should I make use of that? No.

Regards

A logical mind

Bug#660950: [www.debian.org] Awards: broken link for Linux+ entry

Hi Filipus,

The Awards page entry of April 2006 about Linux+ links to

It seems that you totally missed Simon's point yesterday,  so let me try
to offer you some subtitles.

I'm aware that I could send a mail to debian-www. If that's what Simon 
meant though, I don't see much overhead in using the BTS instead...



- send a patch against cvs ?

I do know that I could send a patch ...

So please, do it!


Sorry, my reply was an understatement. To be clear, I consider it 
inefficient to send patches for trivial issues of the kind.



but I also know that wouldn't be
very efficient for trivial problems of this kind.

It would be far more efficient to review and apply a simple patch.


To clarify, I was talking about the efficiency of the process as a 
whole, not just about applying the fix.

  A
patch would make a lot more clear what the issue actually is, and since
you already thought about it, the fix you propose. Reading a certain
amount of lines that doesn't always totally make sense is not the most
efficient way to communicate for trivial problems of this kind…


While a patch might clarify an issue, I'm afraid it wouldn't add much 
clarity to issues like this one. If you can't understand such issues, I 
recommend you leave someone else address them.

Of course, feel free to request explanations.



[...]


In other words, Filipus, please provide patches for trivial problems 
directly to debian-www@l.d.o.


Sorry, that doesn't scale. I can't track the status of each of my 
reports to various mailing lists this way.

  Once we've witnessed that you're actually
able to offer something useful, we'd be happy to grant you commit access
so you can fix them directly.

Regards

David

Bug#655639: [www.debian.org] Awards: Linux New Media Awards entry does not link to Linux New Media announcement

Hi,

Pf…


The possible inavailability of a page about the awards in the corporate
Linux New Media website does not make this less of an issue.

Definitely not an issue we can fix on www.d.o!


What makes you think so?

  Please, go
{fix,report,whine about,whatever} the problem directly to its source: in
the corporate Linux New Media website.

We are not entitled to provide a link to a non existent announcement on
this page, where did you pick that idea? (It's a rhetorical one: no need
to answer.)


Hum, good thing I suppose, because I can't make sense of it.

  The correct way to treat bugs about non-issues is to close
them, but I don't want to play the yo-yo with you and simply tags it
now, and let to someone else the burden to close it in a few
{weeks,months,years} when we'll be tired of seeing this useless report
on the BTS.


But what :-?

Please check existing bugs before filing new ones, so you don't create
(even more) duplicates.
