Description aguador 2020-04-01 18:33:26 CEST

The URL in the SPEC file and consequently the display in rpmdrak is out of date. http://codespeak.net/lxml/ currently only provides pages for execnet and vadm, not lxml. There is a dedicated project site located at https://lxml.de.

This also applies to Mga7: python-lxml-4.3.0-1.mga7.src.rpm

Almost too small a problem to report, but as I was looking for information on the package . . .

Updated .spec

The least I could do is edit the spec!

Thank you for pointing this out. Could you be interested in becoming a packager?

A small thing, yes; but I often use the package URL to find out about it. Not worth correcting for Mageia 7 in my view.

Assigning this globally as the SRPM has no obvious maintainer.

It can be fixed in svn so that *when/if* an update is pushed it gets fixed then.

Fixed for Cauldron and also in svn for mga7!

Fantastic. Thank you for the help Thomas and the rapid fix David.

Lewis, the answer is yes in theory because I know there is a need, want to give back and because I tend to use less widely adopted packages (e.g., E, doublecmd . . .), but I dabbled with packaging and saw my limits clearly. If those limits change, I will sign on.
