Thanks for the heads-up.
I've filed a bunch of bug reports against www.debian.org according to my
findings, a lot of them being about leftovers or various things related
to the build system. Changes likely linked to the wml update are in the
last bug report:
#924135: clean-up: old .cvsignore files
#924136: README: mention at least make
#924137: www.debian.org: debian.org metapackage: add python python-lxml
#924139: www.debian.org: migrate from python to python3
#924140: README: please mention STRICT_ERROR_CHECKS=1 USE_SAMPLE_FILES=1
#924143: www.debian.org: debian.org metapackage: add dependency for
Locale::Codes
#924144: www.debian.org: debian.org metapackage: missing libgd-perl
dependency
#924146: www.debian.org: possible leftover:
norwegian/Bugs/pseudo-packages.inc
#924172: www.debian.org: differences under english/ between builds in
stretch and buster
Now looking at making it easier to compare a full build instead of just
a single directory.
Cheers,
