Invalid Vcs fields 2. cdbs to fix the Vcs fields and replace cdbs by dh. I'm also verifying Homepage and watch file, etc. I learned that the Homepage associated with the current jardiff package vanished from the internet. When seeking for a new location I've found https://github.com/lightbend-labs/jardiff which is actively maintained. I wonder whether we should go the "remove old jardiff + introduce new jardiff via new" route or whether it is OK to just inject the new project and add the change in NEWS.Debian. I have no strong opinion here since I do not use this package. So any input is welcome. I would volunteer to implement what might be consensus of the discussion. Kind regards Andreas. -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (501, 'testing'), (50, 'buildd-unstable'), (50, 'unstable'), (5, 'experimental'), (1, 'buildd-experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.12.6-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE:de Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
