Bug 298073 – Link to Fedora's and Mandriva's repo in "Ebuild policy" are outdated

• Product: Documentation
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Torsten Veller (RETIRED) 2009-12-23 08:19:08 UTC]

Mandriva doesn't use CVS anymore. They switched to subversion.

I think the link should be:
http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/

fedora: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb
        http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/ (slow)

archlinux: https://projects.archlinux.de/svntogit/packages.git/tree/?h=master
mageia: http://viewvc.mageia.org/packages/cauldron

How does one find spec files through the Fedora link?

Enter $packagename (e.g perl), click Packages. Select the one you want and go back to git via "Package Source".

Would it be better linking directly to:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/

The link to gitweb is probably easier but it is also slower for me. I see a timeout and then it fetches a 6 MB index.html.

The affected page now redirects people to devmanual explaining it's obsolete
