At least it doesn't make sense with the way the file only exists in the debian/ directory and we try to discourage upstream from shipping a debian directory. > I can not understand why this package was accepted for Debian without > providing this minimal informations. You'll have a better experience if you stop accusing everyone of being incompetent or malicious.

This is up to upstream to provide that informations. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785316 I can not understand why this package was accepted for Debian without providing this minimal informations.

[...] The tracker.debian.org pages are autogenerated from package contents. We (as package maintainers) can't do manual edits of these pages. If you would like to see additional information about the package start out by making sure the package in question contains the information. The information you're interested in seems to fit into the "debian/upstream/metadata" descriptions which you can find out more about at https://wiki.debian.org/debian/upstream Patches welcome! I'm not sure if tracker.debian.org has support for "debian/upstream/metadata" yet, but if not then feel free to hack the tracker sources and send patches to the people running that service. (See bottom of webpage.) Regards, Andreas Henriksson
Bug#869409: libnotify-bin: add informations about upstream
Package: libnotify-bin Version: 0.7.7-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, plesae add informations about upstream in the expectable places. Looking at the debian tracker there is no direct information. The only hint is that the "maintainer" are the "Debian GNOME Maintainers". Concrete: - add a link to the upstream source (not only to debians one) https://git.gnome.org/browse/libnotify/ - add a link to the upstream project page (couldn't find a package specific page on gnome.org yet) - a linkt to the gnome bugtracker would be nice, too - add this infos to the debian tracker page AND somewhere in the source-docu (e.g. README.debian, CONTRIBUTE.debian, AUTHERS, manpage, ...) Of course I know and aggree that reports should be addressed first to the own distro. But some reporters are more then just "users" and know (or have their own opinion) what belongs to the distro-maintainer and what to upstream. Please make it possible to let the reporter decide that by her-/himself. kind -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.11.9-towo.1-siduction-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libnotify-bin depends on: ii libc6 2.24-12 ii libglib2.0-0 2.52.3-1 ii libnotify40.7.7-2 libnotify-bin recommends no packages. libnotify-bin suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
