Friendly reminder: the Vcs-Browser field is now official
Romain Francoise
The packages listed below use the 'XS-Vcs-Browse' field, which has
been obsoleted by the new, official 'Vcs-Browser' field. Please
consider upgrading your control files to use that. Also note that
the proper capitalization is 'Vcs-Browser', not 'VCS-Browser'.
Thanks.

So, should we use XS-Vcs-* or Vcs-* [1] in debian/control now?
Is there a documentation/wiki/etc. of valid fields somewhere?

I know, just pointing to the existing bits of documentation I know of.

You can also look at the previous entry, which contains others.

Btw, looking at Vcs-* the changelog only says:
* Add Vcs-Browser and Vcs-Git fields to debian/control.

There is really no such thing as "proper" capitalization, but that is
what dpkg will normalise it to, yeah.

There is the deb-control(5) page, but that only applies to binary
packages. If someone would create a equivalent for source packages...
(It is somewhere on my dpkg TODO list)
Stefano Zacchiroli

There have been documentation for XS-Vcs-* since ages in the BTS as an
addendum for the devref (#391023), with patch. The documentation should
be ok, except that you can forget the trailing "XS-" prefix since now
the fields are officially supported by dpkg.
I don't know where now this stuff should be documented (and I've lost a
bit of enthusiasm at documenting ...), but feel free to take the current
patch text and divert it where appropriate.
Cheers.

See #391023, it has been there since a few days after I announced the
support of Vcs-* fields in the PTS.
Still there.

Is this field meant to point at the Debian repository or the
upstream repository? (I assume the Debian one)
Daniel
Stefano Zacchiroli

Both Vcs-Browser and Vcs-* are meant to contain the current development
copy of the repository used to build the official Debian package. The
intended use is for either a user who sees a bug tagged pending in the
BTS and want to get the patched code or, similarly, for a DD willing to
make an NMU and commit the code where appropriate (if possible).
See the bug I've pointed to in this thread for the complete doc.
Cheers.

Why did you not search for XS-Vcs in general? I'm asking because my
package logwatch is not listed, and I remember I've copied the XS-Vcs
fields from another package (XS-Vcs-Browser vs. XS-Vcs-Browse).
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-logwatch/trunk/debian/control?op=file&rev=0&sc=0

> Why did you not search for XS-Vcs in general?
Because packages using XS-Vcs-Browse are easy to catch, you can just
look at the Sources file and filter on 'Vcs-Browse'. Since the
other XS-Vcs-* fields get normalized to legit values, catching them
requires unpacking all the source packages.
BUT! you may be interested in the following packages, which use
XS-X-Vcs-* headers and are also easy to catch:

So, these should now use Vsc-*: fields ?
For shadow, we have now:
XS-X-Vcs-Svn: svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-shadow/trunk
So, we should use:
Vcs-Svn: svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-shadow/trunk
(Or "Vcs-svn"?)
(we also should correct the URL as we recently integrated upstream in
our SVN repository and therefore changed the SVN layout, but that's
another story)

It wouldn't matter, field handling is case insensitive. But the most
widespread capitalization is Vcs-Svn, so let's stick to it.
For the sake of completeness, the matching Vcs-Browser field should be:
Vcs-Browser: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-shadow/trunk/
