Statically detecting FTBFS with
edos-builddebcheck
Here at DebConf8,
after my
talk about Mancoosi, I
got in touch with several people interested in the QA implication
of the EDOS/Mancoosi tools.

PTS and package descriptions

PTS, package descriptions (and more than a bit of UDD)
After delivering my
talk at DebConf, I went back to some (more) PTS hacking ... apparently I'm
in the mood for it
An apparently trivial feature
request (showing package descriptions)
provided for interesting thoughts. First of all the PTS is mostly
source-based, but in Debian we have no source package
descriptions (issue which probably deserves fixing by its
own). Rough consensus has then been to add tooltips on binary
package hyperlinks, to show short descriptions.

Source: Zack's Blogreminder: Homepage pseudo fields are GONE
Published in upsilon.cc - 39 d 17 hr ago
go fix your ancient Homepage pseudo-fields, you lazy
maintainer!
... or I'll kill a kitten for each homepage URL I found in long
package descriptions.
Homepage pseudo-fields are gone since long, the proper way to
document upstream homepage is now to use a
real Homepage field in the source stanza of
debian/control.
