So, a machine readable file (YAML/JSON/deb822/etc, your choice), something like this: Blend: Debian Med Task: Biology Task-name: med-bio URL: http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/bio Packages: abacas acedb-other .... Blend: Debian Med Task: Biology development Task-name: med-bio-dev URL: http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/bio-dev Packages: bioperl bioperl-run > I'm sorry I can not really parse what you want to tell me with this. I'll try again. The PTS is primarily source package based but the blends infrastructure is binary package based. The PTS will want to link to the blends infrastructure, using per-package anchors. The anchors provided by the blends infrastructure are based on binary package names rather than source package names. Here is an example based on the logol source package: <a href="http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/bio#logol-bin" title="Debian Med Biology packages">med-bio</a> <a href="http://blends.alioth.debian.org/">blend</a> It would be much better if the PTS could link directly to a source package anchor instead, especially since blends can sometimes depend on multiple binary packages from one source package. Unfortunately it isn't yet possible to do this: <a href="http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/bio#logol" title="Debian Med Biology packages">med-bio</a> <a href="http://blends.alioth.debian.org/">blend</a> Alternatively we can drop the anchor, since I guess folks clicking on blends links are looking for other related packages rather than the package itself. Thats a separate issue to what you pointed out with gromacs, the gromacs issue can be solved like this: <a href="http://blends.alioth.debian.org/debichem/tasks/molmech#gromacs" title="DebiChem Molecular mechanics packages">debichem-molmech</a>, <a href="http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/bio#gromacs" title="Debian Med Biology packages">med-bio</a> <a href="http://blends.alioth.debian.org/">blends</a> And if the length of the blends list gets too long we can do it like this: <a href="http://blends.alioth.debian.org/">blends</a> (<a href="http://blends.alioth.debian.org/debichem/tasks/molmech#gromacs" title="DebiChem Molecular mechanics packages">1</a>, <a href="http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/bio#gromacs" title="Debian Med Biology packages">2</a>, <a href="http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/cloud#gromacs" title="Debian Med Cloud packages">3</a>) -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
