The script used to generate the html pages is available at: http://svn.wolffelaar.nl/lintian/trunk/reporting/html_reports There you will find this code: $file =~ s/^(.+)\<.*$/$1/; $file =~ tr/A-Za-z0-9_.,/_/c; $file =~ s/^_+//g; $file =~ s/_+$//g; > > Beside that, should I really need to implement that in the PTS as well? > The alternative is that lintian.d.o is willing to implement a simpler > naming scheme, for example using maintainer email and creating URLs like > http://lintian.debian.org/reports/mEMAIL.

It would be great if you could finish my work on that. > > Many thanks in advance, Cheers. > [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=373218 Sincerely, -- Atomo64 - Raphael Please avoid sending me Word, PowerPoint or Excel attachments.
