FWIW, I do agree with Raphael on this and many thanks to Lucas for his patch implementing the request. As a package maintainer I welcome having handy access from the PTS to the patches other Debian derivative*s* are applying to packages of mine. In this respect the added link to Ubuntu patches and other info are useful to me [1] and I do not see the benefit of removing it from the PTS. Someone implemented it, it is useful, it should stay there, simple and easy. If you care about the "discrimination" we are doing wrt other distributions the solution is easy as well: go find their data sources and go provide patches for the PTS adding support for them. A potential problem there can be that we don't want to have tens of links to external distros, but this (once and if will become a problem) can be solved using drop down menus to choose the distribution first, and the other available info then. Cheers. [1] yes, the infamous "ubuntu big patch" can be more useful if split/commented, but that's another story. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- PhD in Computer Science \ PostDoc @ Univ.
