Subject: [qa.debian.org] Please provide a code.google.com redirector

Date: Fri, 14 May 2010 13:07:32 +0200

Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: normal

code.google.com seems to become one of the most used code hosting websites 
after sourceforge and provides a download interface which is at least as ugly 
as the one from sourceforge. Many packages are now broken after they changed 
their download interface again and nobody can easily use the href in 
http://code.google.com/p/<project>/downloads/list?can=1 anymore with uscan as 
the real data is hidden in a javascript button onclick or a subpage.

Please provide a way to use uscan like we do it already with sourceforge.

It's still feasible to write a watch file for the new download page, see 
e.g. http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/python-apps/packages/sinntp/trunk/debian/watch?revision=5212

That said, I concur that a redirector would be useful.

Before we get to that point, please try contacting them and explain the 
situation. A redirector still requires maintenance (and in this case it 
seems it would be necessary to actually make the redirector fetch a page, 
which is not something I'm very happy about.)

Hello people,

I was not aware of this bug, and a couple of days ago I launched a googlecode
redirector [0]: http://googlecode.debian.net . I hope it's useful for you :)

(on a side note, as a QA effort, maybe we should list currently available
*.debian.net redirectors in a wiki.debian.org page?)

Kindly,
David

Why should that be distinct from the list of debian.net domains[0]?

Well, a separate page would be better IMHO, and should be linked from
wiki.d.o/debian/watch. I know for sure not all redirectors are *.debian.net , I
remember a sf.net change which needed a new redirector, which was hosted at
people.d.o/~someone/sf.php ...

However, maybe it's better to open a new bug, or stop the OT here :)

Btw, according to [1] this has been fixed by Google (seems to work
fine for my packages), I guess you can close this one.
