OK, the wrapper is finished and the new package Thermometer online. Feel free to have a look at http://blends.alioth.debian.org/gis/thermometer/ It reimplements the package thermometer[1] for all those packages that are mentioned inside the debian-gis tasks files. In other words: If you are missing a package in the thermometer please add it here[2] (and wait 24h until UDD and the thermometer is updated). I adapted the layout a bit to the other pages of the web sentinel. I hope you like this - otherwise I'm happily accepting patches to the template[3]. I also added features not yet implemented inside the old thermometer that are coming cheap with UDD + Blends techniques: 1. Packages maintained in a VCS have an additional link to this (in addition to PTS and UP) 2. There are three additional "distributions" a) stable-bpo if you have packages in backports (seems not to be the case currently) b) experimental there are some packages in experimental left over from freeze time c) unreleased These are packages you just have in VCS. The packages do not even have to be released to show up here (see also WNPP bug I hope you like these additional features. In the links section you can also find the Ubuntu thermometer. Currently it is featuring 'precise', 'quantal' and 'raring'. Please tell me what additional releases you want to see here (if any). It's a question of minutes to adapt the code.[4] Apropos code: You might like to inspect the SQL query 'query_thermometer' for the columns debianstatus and ubuntustatus which are relevant for the coloring of the rows if these relations fit your intention. > > The only thing that need to be adopted from Debian GIS team is the way > > you are specifying your not yet packaged target software.

I think if you are serious about packaging some software this should not be to much work. > > Just let me know if you like this idea and I'll go on with the Genshi > > template to create Debian Blends thermometer (+ optional Ubuntu > > thermometer, probably even enhanced to "other derivatives" thermometer). > > I personally like it I need to check out what other derivatives could be added. Do you want to see an additional page like Ubuntu thermometer or should it simply be added? Both is fine - just specify what you prefer. Hope this will simplify the work of Debian GIS team. For all other Blends the thermometer is available as well. You can either guess the URL or wait until the links on the entry pages are updated. Kind regards Andreas.
