Hello, I think there are some issues with the Forwarded handling here: https://udd.debian.org/patches.cgi?src=e17&version=0.25.4-2 DEP3 has this description for Forwarded: > Any value other than "no" or "not-needed" means that the patch has been > forwarded upstream. Ideally the value is an URL proving that it has been > forwarded and where one can find more information about its inclusion status. > > If the field is missing, its implicit value is "yes" if the "Bug" field is > present, otherwise it's "no". The field is really required only if the patch > is vendor specific, in that case its value should be "not-needed" to indicate > that the patch must not be forwarded upstream (whereas "no" simply means that > it has not yet been done). The patch linked above is tagged Forwarded=yes - which is not ideal, but not invalid. Looking for more info, I found that the html source has: > <td><span class="prio_high" title="Forwarded=yes, but no Bug > field">invalid</span></td> This doesn't show up in firefox - was this was meant to go into the content of the span? And as far that error - to my reading, DEP3 doesn't require a Bug when Forwarded=yes. Bug's presence or absence only changes the implicit value. A note that Forwarded=yes without a Bug is not informative would be helpful. :) Thanks, Ross
