Hi,
I'm the maintainer of a few Debian packages, for which sage is
considered upstream:
rubiks
sagemath-database-mutually-combinatorial-designs
sagemath-database-conway-polynomials
sagemath-database-elliptic-curves
sagemath-database-graphs
sagemath-database-polytopes
To detect when a new upstream is available, Debian uses a helper, which
analyses homepages/download pages to see which versions are available
(uscan).
For those sage-is-upstream packages, I was pointing the helper to
http://files.sagemath.org/spkg/upstream/<package>
but now it looks like those are not available anymore on the
sagemath.org server.
I could point to mirrors, like say:
http://www-ftp.lip6.fr/pub/math/sagemath/spkg/upstream/<package>
but I think it would be better to have a real upstream link.
Let me insist : the links are used to check for new versions, by either
developers working on the package, or by the Debian servers to update
status page ; downloading the sources of a new version is done by hand
(well, triggered by hand -- using the helper script in download mode),
by developers : users of the Debian packages then get the sources from
Debian mirrors. It shouldn't overload the main servers.
Can you point me to a correct place?
Thanks,
Snark on #debian-science
