Package: cl-contextl
Severity: minor
Hi,
When doing
$ apt-get source cl-contextl
I get a helpful message:
NOTICE: 'cl-contextl' packaging is maintained in the 'Darcs' version control system at:
http://darcs.debian.org/darcs/pkg-common-lisp/cl-contextl
This is lovely, but then
$ darcs get http://darcs.debian.org/darcs/pkg-common-lisp/cl-contextl
darcs failed: Not a repository: http://darcs.debian.org/darcs/pkg-common-lisp/cl-contextl (Failed to download URL http://darcs.debian.org/darcs/pkg-common-lisp/cl-contextl/_darcs/inventory: HTTP response code said error)
Very confusing! Of course, when you go to
http://darcs.debian.org/darcs/pkg-common-lisp/cl-contextl in a browser,
all becomes clear: there's a redirect to
http://anonscm.debian.org/darcs/pkg-common-lisp/cl-contextl.
I'm not sure whether darcs.debian.org should redirect the
_darcs/inventory url rather than give a 404 but, for this package, the
confusion can be removed by changing the Vcs-Darcs line in
debian/control to point at the new URL.
Thanks,
Rupert
