[Popcon-developers] Bug#729024: please provide vcs- fields

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.60
Severity: normal

I was monitoring
URL: svn+ssh://alioth.debian.org/svn/popcon/trunk

but now it is VERY outdated:

Last Changed Date: 2010-11-22 10:29:26 -0800 (Mon, 22 Nov 2010)

and debcheckout still fails so I would need to go fishing expedition
trying to find where things moved:

$> debcheckout popularity-contest                     
No repository found for package popularity-contest.
 
A Vcs-* field is missing in its source record. See Debian Developer's
Reference 6.2.5:
 `http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#bpp-vcs'
If you know that the package is maintained via a version control
system consider asking the maintainer to expose such information.

Nevertheless, you can get the sources of package popularity-contest
from the Debian archive executing:

 apt-get source popularity-contest

Note however that what you obtain will *not* be a local copy of
some version control system: your changes will not be preserved
and it will not be possible to commit them directly.
