No link to upstream source for charms from charm page

[mthaddon]

Currrently there is no link from a charm page (such as https://jujucharms.com/landscape-client/ ) to where the upstream code lives, so it's very hard for someone to know where they should submit charm changes.

This is because the authors have not put a homepage or bugs-url in for the charm. I'm ping'ing @sparkiegeek to see if they could arrange that for their charm. See the "set" command examples in https://jujucharms.com/docs/2.1/tools-charm-tools

Note that there's http caching in place so once the urls are set it'll take 10-15min for the changes to show on the charm webpage. It will work immediately from the cli:

charm show cs:landscape-client bugs-url
charm show cs:landscape-client homepage

Just to ensure it's clear, there is also no link on the landscape-server charm as well as the client.

Also, a bugs URL or homepage is informative, but not definitive. There is currently no way to say reliably which upstream repository, commit or tag was used when publishing a charm.

It's often possible to track back via the project homepage or bug submission link, where hopefully the charm author is diligent about tagging their releases in relation to uploads to the charm store - this is not always the case, and open to interpretation as well, as there is no definitive linkage between the source of a charm, and the uploaded charm.

FWIW both landscape-server and landscape-client charms now have correct links for bugs-url and homepage.

Thanks for the pointers @mitechie
