2008-03-15 Thread Michael Casadevall
I was under the imprssion that the URL field is the location of the 
upstream site; since devotee is part of the Debian project, I put the URL 
as http://debian.org. The page where I downloaded the source then goes 
into the copyright file. If I'm mistaken, please tell me now so I can 
correct the control and copyright files locally.

Hi,
looking at the fact that other people might want to check 
the source or the project you are filing an ITP for I think 
this is a rather strange rationale.

Kind regards
Nico

I've since made the correction in my local package.

Here's the source URL for future reference: 
http://arch.debian.org/arch/private/srivasta/archive-lenny/devotee--devel--0.1/

It isn't.  It's written by a Debian developer and used by Debian, but you
won't find any information about it on www.debian.org and it's not released
by Debian (though the code is hosted using Debian resources).

 I put the URL as http://debian.org. The page where I downloaded the source
 then goes into the copyright file.

The download page is what should go in the copyright file, yes.  But
www.debian.org isn't really suitable as either a homepage URL or a
download URL for devotee; www.debian.org is not a homepage for the *devotee*
project.

And historically, we didn't have Homepage fields in debian/control anyway;
the URL field in the ITP template is meant to give people a way to get at
the original sources.
