* Fix description of a (melpa) package ? @ 2020-05-30 4:57 Jean-Christophe Helary 2020-05-30 7:37 ` Vasilij Schneidermann 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: Jean-Christophe Helary @ 2020-05-30 4:57 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Emacs Devel I found a glitch in the description of the "hecules" hosted on Melpa when using list-packages. I checked the github melpa site and the melpa org site but it's not clear how to propose a modification for the package description (specifically here, the listed "homepage" gives https://gitlab.com/jjzmajic/hercules when it should be https://gitlab.com/jjzmajic/hercules.el) Can someone indicate the place where such descriptions are hosted ? -- Jean-Christophe Helary @brandelune http://mac4translators.blogspot.com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

MELPA derives the metadata both from a recipe file [1] and from the package header [2]. In this case the package header appears to be at fault as it mentions the wrong URL. The flow for contributions to GitLab-hosted repositories is signing up, forking the repository, creating a new branch and commit fixing the issue, pushing it, then submitting a "Merge Request" for the maintainer to review. However I'd consider to just submit an issue or if you cannot be bothered, sending them an email.

That's very helpful. -- Jean-Christophe Helary @brandelune http://mac4translators.blogspot.com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
