Bug#958441: debtags: Please add Cobol language tag (devel::lang:cobol)

A quick search show these packages mentioning cobol: pere@meta:~$ apt-cache search cobol exuberant-ctags - build tag file indexes of source code definitions gnucobol - COBOL compiler libcob4 - COBOL compiler - runtime library libcob4-dev - COBOL compiler - development files open-cobol - transitional dummy package for gnucobol sloccount - programs for counting physical source lines of code (SLOC) src2tex - converter from source program files to TeX format files universalindentgui - GUI frontend for several code beautifiers pere@meta:~$ As far as I can tell, only open-cobol should not have the cobol tag (well, it could get it, but it is just a placeholder for gnucobol). The rest can handle cobol code. > If we still don't have so many packages for those tags in the archive, > you can use devel::lang::TODO implemented-in::TODO for the time being, > or given how well defined are those tags and how cobol is a > historically well established language, we could make an exception.

I used TODO on gnucobol, but thought it was time to get a cobol tag in place and filed here too. :) -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen

One of the policies for new tags, is to have at least 6 or 7 packages that would use them: https://wiki.debian.org/Debtags/FAQ#What_makes_a_tag_good_for_being_added_to_the_vocabulary.3F Could you make a list of packages that would fit? It would also help initializing the tag data so that we don't have tags matching no packages. If we still don't have so many packages for those tags in the archive, you can use devel::lang::TODO implemented-in::TODO for the time being, or given how well defined are those tags and how cobol is a historically well established language, we could make an exception. I would still prefer not to introduce tags without associated packages, though. Enrico -- GPG key: 4096R/634F4BD1E7AD5568 2009-05-08 Enrico Zini signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Package: debtags Severity: wishlist While tagging the gnucobol package, I discovered there is no tag for the cobol language. I propose to add a tag devel::lang:cobol for this purpose. Perhaps also add implemented-in::cobol for completeness, to match other programming languages? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
