FWIW; I completely agree :) Thanks! Bye, Joost

Control: clone 1030189 -1 Control: reassign -1 debian-faq Thanks Sven, How about Debian FAQ? Shouldn't it mention non-free-firmware * debian-faq package * https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ftparchives.en.html FYI: I already updated debian-reference https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html#_debian_archive_basics (minimal changes to avoid translation breakages) > Le mer. 1 févr. 2023 à 21:36, Sven Joachim a écrit : > > > Control: reassign -1 release-notes > > ... > > Somehow, but how exactly?

Let me know. If I understand correctly, we copy webwml source and create source for this deb package manually in advance. In a oversimplified sense: source of www.debian.org --> transform to create deb source. --> deb What is better is create a source deb package as the pristine source and generate corresponding www.debian.org pages from binary deb package content files with cron script on www-master.d.o like debian-policy etc. Then updating is simpler. deb source package --> deb binary packages --> www.debian.org Of course, this needs to be agreed by the party updating the constitution in advance. Just my thought. Osamu
