Package: apt-listchanges Version: 2.85.9 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer, Aptitude does not show any homepage URL or wiki page for apt-listchanges. Hence its difficult to either know about the tool's roadmap or see what the status is apart for p.d.o. . It woud be nice to have a homepage URL or a wiki page which tells a bit about the package and then perhaps give a link to the scm repo where people could look more.
$ aptitude show apt-listchanges Package: apt-listchanges State: installed Automatically installed: no Version: 2.85.9 Priority: standard Section: utils Maintainer: Pierre Habouzit <madco...@debian.org> Uncompressed Size: 207 k Depends: python (>= 2.4), python-support (>= 0.90.0), apt (>= 0.5.3), python-apt (>= 0.7.93), ucf (>= 0.28), debianutils (>= 2.0.2), debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0 Recommends: exim4 | mail-transport-agent Suggests: x-terminal-emulator, www-browser, python-glade2, python-gtk2 Description: package change history notification tool The tool apt-listchanges can compare a new version of a package with the one currently installed and show what has been changed, by extracting the relevant entries from the Debian changelog and NEWS files. It can be run on several .deb archives at a time to get a list of all changes that would be caused by installing or upgrading a group of packages. When configured as an APT plugin it will do this automatically during upgrades.
