Hi, I'm currently rewriting the code which renders the web sentinel tasks pages and stumbled upon one issue. When writing the former code I intended to implement it this way that for a package which is not in the Debian pool to fields are mandatory:
Homepage and Pkg-Description When comparing the rendering result of the old and the new code I realised that the old code did not matched my specification because even if the (prospective) package nest is lacking a Homepage field it is rendered at http://blends.debian.net/science/tasks/neuroscience-modeling#nest The new code will just cause an intry in the logs: ERROR - blendstasktools.py (1495): Package nest neither in pool nor new and has no homepage information - ignored and no paragraph for nest will be rendered because the field is missing (see below for a snipped from the relevan tasks file). The question is now: What behaviour would you consider reasonable? Should we enforce specifying a homepage field or not? (This question is not only targetting against this specific package but in general.) Kind regards Andreas. Snippet from tasks/neuroscience-modeling: ; Added by blends-inject 0.0.5.
