> Vcs-Path: <team>/<path_to_pkg_in_team>Instead of introducing new flags, I suggest to extend existing flags to support "relative URLs" which are somewhere within Debian. E.g. the following: Vcs-Git: git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-perl/packages/ciderwebmail Vcs-Browser: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-perl/packages/ciderwebmail.git ...could - because it uses Debian infrastructure - be shortened: Vcs-Git: pkg-perl/packages/ciderwebmail * Vcs-Git without a colon would (currently, may change in future) expand to git://anonscm.debian.org/$relative_url * When Vcs-Git field exists without colon and Vcs-Browser is missing, then it is (currently) added as https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/%f.git - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
