[R-pkg-team] Bug#1083253: standardize homepage bugs

[Tobias Frost]

Control: close -1

the old urls works just fine. not a bug, closing.

Ben,

As there are plenty bugs filed with the same topic:
- this constitutes a Mass Bug Filing (MBF) please note that you are
  required to discuss a MBF on the debian-devel mailing list before
  filing the bugs.  (See the Developes's reference for details:
  https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/beyond-pkging.html#reporting-lots-of-bugs-at-once-mass-bug-filing

- please only file bugs that actually adresses problems. In the concrete
  case of this bug reports I'm closing, A missing slash in a URL,
  without any effect on usabilty is not a bug. However, this is true for
  many other bugs you have filed, and I want you to re-read the mail
  from David sent to debian-devel:
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2024/09/msg00205.html

This all feels like that you are filing bugs for the purpose of filing
bugs only, without really understanding the processes and conventions in
Debian.  Please do not do that, this only creates extra work and noise,
which is simply not helpful. 

I strongly recommend you to only file bugs where:
- you are an user of the package,
- you have can provide actual reason why you are filing the bug, for
  example what actual problem you are experiencing with the current
  package in Debian and how the bug are you filing will help with those.
  (For example, why do you think the CRAN homepage is more suitable than
  the upstream homepage?)
- please do not file bugs for the purpose of filing bugs (sorry for
  repeating myself, but this is key)
  It seems you have at least semi-automated the filing, don't do that.
  This is why MBF needs to be discussed, often there are other options
  to filing bugs. 

Some bugs you have filed are tagged "moreinfo" expecting additional
information provided by you. Please follow up on those. 

Please avoid creating noise and cause extra work cleaning up after you.

As David said already: it's great that you want to help Debian, but I'm
sorry to say your current bug filing strategy is not (in my opinion as
an individual maintainer) very helpful.
