[Debichem-devel] Please do not use Publication-* fields in tasks files (Was: r3258 - /projects/debichem/trunk/debichem/tasks/crystallography)

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Michael,

thanks for enhancing the package information by citations.  This is
currently an effort I'm highly busy about.  However, recently I gave a
hint about the deprecated way to add publication data to the tasks
files[1].  I'm currently busy *removing* all the Publication-* fields
from Debian Med tasks because the new way to accomplish this is now in
effect[2] and only a final testing is done.  So you can really safe your
time and do *not* add this to the tasks files any more but rather add
debian/upstream files to your packages *in* *SVN*.  There is no need to
upload the package - because the Upstream Metadata Gatherer written by
Charles Plessy is browsing SVN (if it does not work for Debichem we
should rather check the gatherer).

The advantage of using debian/upstream files becomes obvios if you think
that the informatio is immediately available in *all* tasks where a
package is mentioned which could potentially be the case for Debian Med
and Debian Science as well.

So if you would like to save your time just use debian/upstream files
instead of the tasks files.  If you do not see your information showing
up on the tasks pages please ping me or Charles.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
