Excerpts from Vladimir Panteleev's message of October 16, 2018 2:26:
As of today, there is no easy way to obtain a link to a specific comment on a package page.
Many implementations of forums and comment systems today seem to follow a convention where a comment's timestamp is an unobtrusive link to the comment itself. Some examples are:
- phpBB (e.g. bbs.archlinux.org)
(Our BBS is FluxBB, not phpBB.)
- GitHub - Disqus - Discourse
This patch adopts this convention as well, by making the comment timestamp an unobtrusive link to the comment itself.
Most of what makes those URLs useful is that they link to the actual post though, while this is just an anchor to the page you're currently on, which means that as soon as it ends up at the next page, the URL is broken, so I'm not sure how useful this is in practice? -- Sincerely, Johannes Löthberg
