Fix PackageInfo.g, update your various websites and repositories to point to true one location? #2

Closed fingolfin closed 8 years ago

fingolfin commented 8 years ago

Your PackageInfo.g is currently invalid in that various URLs which should point to e.g. copies of the README and PackageInfo.g file just say http://sgpdec.sf.net.

Also, I find it very confusing there the website is at http://sgpdec.sf.net ; it points to bitbucket; but your bitbucket account seems to be unused (so maybe this is now the official repository after all); on bitbucket in turn you also point people to https://compsemi.wordpress.com/software/sgpdec/ as your website; and then of course there is also https://sourceforge.net/projects/sgpdec/

This leaves me quite confused :-).

@egri-nagy you may find useful ValidatePackageInfo and also the validator at the bottom of this page.

egri-nagy commented 8 years ago

Your confusion is well-founded. :)

However, I'm trying to generate pages for SgpDec on github, I don't have access to Settings for the project. Also, I am not able to close issues. Is this the consequence of migrating to gap-packages?

fingolfin commented 8 years ago

Yes, after the migration, we then needed to updated your access settings, which I have just done. Please try again!

fingolfin commented 8 years ago

Did everything work now? If yes, you can close the issue from my point of view.

Ah, one more minor hint: You can set a package homepage (e.g. pointing to http://gap-packages.github.io/sgpdec) on https://github.com/gap-packages/sgpdec -- to the right of the repository description at the top of https://github.com/gap-packages/sgpdec, you should see an "Edit" link, which you can click, and it then allows you to provide a website URL.

olexandr-konovalov commented 8 years ago

I've just done that ;)

fingolfin commented 8 years ago

Yeah, I could've done it, too -- but I deliberately didn't, because I think it's important to let package maintainers do these things for themselves, as (a) it is their package, and (b) only then will they know where this data came from, and how to do it by themselves the next time around... ;-)

egri-nagy commented 8 years ago

Thanks a lot! I will have the opportunity to practise that, as I have two more GAP packages to migrate, soon.
