Hi all,
The URLs in the DESCRIPTION files of doctest and symbolic now point to
their https://octave.sourceforge.io/*/ sites. This is the right thing
b/c those are the official sites.
But these two packages are (currently) developed on largely github.com.
The generate_html package makes links to the repository of the form
https://octave.sourceforge.io/pkg-repository/doctest/
but these are a bit misleading for (at least) these two packages.
Options:
1. hack the generated html "manually" (probably some sed in the
maintainer makefile).
2. add a new "dev_url", "repo", "dev_repo", or similar field to DESCRIPTION.
3. something else I haven't thought of.
The first option is nice and easy, but a bit "local"... Thoughts?
Colin
