Description Sterling Christensen 2010-10-08 18:01:09 UTC

The URLs in /usr/portage/www-client/opera/ChangeLog are fine, so it's like an extra "http://" is being prepended for the website.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Gef 2010-10-08 19:48:07 UTC

http://packages.gentoo.org looks fine here. Any hint on what is not working for you ?

Comment 2 Sterling Christensen 2010-10-10 08:17:54 UTC

This is the only page I've seen it happen on:
http://packages.gentoo.org/package/www-client/opera
(Sorry... I put that link in the URL field but I forgot to put it in the description)

The page quotes the changelog like so: "*opera-10.63_pre6450 (08 Oct 2010)
08 Oct 2010; Jeroen Roovers (jer) +opera-10.63_pre6450.ebuild:
http://http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2010/10/08/opera-10-63-release-candid
ate-2"

But notice the URL begins with "http://http://"

Comment 3 Sterling Christensen 2010-10-10 08:22:03 UTC

If you run `nano /usr/portage/www-client/opera/ChangeLog`, you'll see that the changelog is being misquoted. An extra "http://" is being added.

From /usr/portage/www-client/opera/ChangeLog:
"*opera-10.63_pre6450 (08 Oct 2010)

  08 Oct 2010; Jeroen Roovers <jer@gentoo.org> +opera-10.63_pre6450.ebuild:
  http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2010/10/08/opera-10-63-release-candid
  ate-2"

Confirming - it looks like p.g.o is prepending an extra "http://" to urls in packages' ChangeLog. Quite annoying.

Here is the html currently being generated at http://packages.gentoo.org/package/gnome-extra/cinnamon for the following ChangeLog entry:

*cinnamon-1.4 (15 Mar 2012)

  15 Mar 2012; Alexandre Rostovtsev <tetromino@gentoo.org>
  -cinnamon-1.2-r1.ebuild, +cinnamon-1.4.ebuild:
  Version bump, see http://cinnamon.linuxmint.com/?p=182 for the release notes.
  Drop old.

The release notes url is getting an extra http:// prepended.

I'm pretty sure I fixed this months ago. Please re-open if you can reproduce on the existing site.
