But we can add a query parameter, like "/pkg/foo?fallback=none" to implement this.

For example by checking the > number of associated news before deciding that we want to consider a > binary lookup... I'm cloning my main point, which is slightly different, into a separate bug. It should not be too hard to implement a src: syntax that disables the "if no source package is found try to find a binary package with that name" fallback for special cases where an error page is better than this fallback. This could then be used from packages.qa.d.o, and later from the src: pages in the BTS. > Cheers, cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out of the darkness.

Fine. Let's record this as a wishlist then. Patches welcome as usual. It might even be not too hard to implement. For example by checking the number of associated news before deciding that we want to consider a binary lookup...

I use the PTS feature of looking up historical source packages quite a lot, so it would be a shame if it went away with the transition to the tracker. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise

The only "ancient" data that can be kept is the list of news.

If the source packages does not exist (as is the case here), we still have a nice fallback to redirect to the source package that contains a binary package of the same name. You could argue that returning an HTTP 404 would be better but I don't think so. > Or of that already exists, packages.qa.d.o should be fixed to use it.
