[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56542] pkg: new subcommands to open package related pages in a web browser

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #56542 (project octave):

                 Summary: pkg: new subcommand to open package git or hg repo
in a web browser => pkg: new subcommands to open package related pages in a
web browser

Follow-up Comment #2:

Updating the subject. I think this same bug could be used to add a number of
additional well-defined keywords for package metadata. Some examples of what I
am thinking of:

* pkg repo - open the package repository web page
* pkg wiki - open the package wiki
* pkg web or pkg homepage - open the package home page, may be same or
different from the repository
* pkg bug or pkg issue - open the bug or issue tracker for the package
* pkg faq - open the package FAQ documentation or wiki
* pkg doc or pkg manual - open a web hosted version of the package
documentation

The common factor is these are all simple commands that pass a URL to the
Octave 'web' command, and the URL can be stored as a field in the package
DESCRIPTION file. The task remaining is to enumerate what new command names we
want to support and what the corresponding DESCRIPTION field names should be.
