Hi Steve,
I've been meaning to get back to you about this for a while, but haven't
got round to preparing anything particularly nice. Matt pointed out that
it might be a good plan just to provide you with the tools you need and
let you get on with it. :-)
I have a program called 'suite-diff', which I wrote some time back and
have been polishing occasionally; it compares two Packages (or Sources)
files and reports on the version differences between them in various
ways. You will need to have the python-apt package installed to run it.
You invoke it like this:
./suite-diff.py <Packages1> <Packages2> <mode>
<Packages1> might be
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz,
and <Packages2> might be
http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/hardy/main/binary-lpia/Packages.gz,
for instance.
There are quite a few different possible values for <mode>, and I'm not
sure exactly which one you want:
lt: list any packages in <Packages1> Less Than <Packages2>
le: list any packages in <Packages1> Less than or Equal to <Packages2>
eq: list any packages in <Packages1> EQual to <Packages2>
ne: list any packages in <Packages1> Not Equal to <Packages2>
ge: list any packages in <Packages1> Greater than or Equal to <Packages2>
gt: list any packages in <Packages1> Greater Than <Packages2>
You can also add '-ne' (No version is Earlier than any version) or '-nl'
(No version is Later than any version) to the mode; so for instance if
you say 'lt-nl' it will list all packages in <Packages1> that are at a
version less than <Packages2> and treat a missing package as being
equivalent to an enormously high version that's greater than anything
else.
I'm not sure that any of these modes is precisely what you want, but you
should be able to come up with something useful by running this in
various combinations. Note that it doesn't actually take account of
whether a build failed in Launchpad or simply hasn't been tried yet; it
just looks at whatever's in the archive.
Let me know if you have any problems and I can help you out.
Cheers,
