Hi, I'm intentionally breaking the longish thread (and I'm to lazy to check in what mail the suggestion was to process the BibTeX file through LaTeX - just implemented it ;-)).
At http://blends.debian.net/packages-metadata/ you can find the files debian.{bib,tex,pdf}. All these files are auto-generated when importing debian/upstream files. I changed the export procedure for the *.bib file to now have sorted output for better comparison with previous versions and general handling. In addition I created a very basic debian.tex file which contains (package, source, description, bibtexkey) rows in a table if a package has a related citation. Yes, even if debian/upstream is a feature of a package source I resolved the table rows to packages because these will be finally used on our tasks page and this also demonstrates that the `debian-package` key works (see for instance the citations for package blast2 which are only for this binary package and not for other packages from ncbi-tools6). You can also see that multiple references per package can be handled. How you can create the BibTeX file yourself (if you like to do some experiments in addition to download from the URL above)? Login on Alioth and do: psql -h localhost -p 5441 -U guest udd -c "SELECT * FROM bibtex()" | sed -e 's/ *+$//' -e 's/^ //' The entries for the table inside the debian.tex file can be obtained via psql -h localhost -p 5441 -U guest udd -c "SELECT * FROM bibtex_example_data() AS (package text, source text, bibkey text, description text)" | sed -e 's/ *+$//' -e 's/^ //' You see the essential things are implemented in SQL queries. If you have some ideas to enhance something inside this proof of concept just rise your ideas now. Kind regards - and feel free to join me in my "publication of the day" effort where I add one debian/upstream file per day to a package which is lacking citation information Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
