Bug#1042478: Tasks missing in tasksel and its task-description file

[d3vf4n]

Package: tasksel
Version: 3.73

There are tasksel tasks that
 1. The command "tasksel --list-tasks" does not list.
 2. They do not show either in the task description file 
"/usr/share/tasksel/descs/debian-tasks.desc"

Some examples are the tasks "science-tasks", "electronic-tasks", 
"education-tasks", and quite a few more:
https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=bookworm=all=any=all=tasksel
https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=bookworm=all=any=names=live-task-

Despite all this, tasksel can actually install them: for instance, "tasksel -t 
install science-tasks".

I am on: Debian 12.1 (bookworm),
kernel version (output of "uname -v"): #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.38-1 
(2023-07-14)

Bug#1041634: WIKI: the DebianDate wiki macro is not working properly.

[d3vf4n]

Package: wiki.debian.orgX-Debbugs-CC: 
debian-...@lists.debian.org,deb...@tchung.org
Hello, I want to report on the DebianDate macro of the Debian wiki not working 
correctly.

The DebianDate macro  is supposed 
to return the release date of a supplied suite of Debian. But it returns the 
release date of the stable version of Debian (12.0), no matter what the 
argument is (stable, oldstable, oldoldstable).
Apparently this was first noticed by Thomas Chung when updating the wiki's 
front page  in mid-june.

This macro helps having the release dates for different versions always 
up-to-date, thus it is annoying, and error prone, to have to replace it by a 
hardcoded date. Again see the wiki's front page for an example of that.

The source code of the macro is at a repository 

 owned by PaulWise.

Just for the record, and to make crystal clear what the problem is, here is a 
simple example of the error: edit any page of the wiki and paste the following 
lines. 

<>, <>, <>

<>, <>, 
<>

the output will be

2023-06-10, 2023-06-10, 2023-06-10
bookworm, bullseye, buster


Best regards.
