I have another data point with the very same problem: http://blends.debian.org/med/tasks/bio#subread As I said previously my gut feeling is that there is a bad architecture + experimental release combination which leads to this effect. There is the "fun-Blend" which I created for "fun and debugging" where you can tweak the tasks to a bare minimum to focus on the problematic packages without influencing any real Blend. > On the other hand, I wanted to start the actual task of rewriting tasks.py > to exclusively use UDD.

I would start by skipping anything that is accessing the tasks files directly and start with all information you can get from there. It might have some advantage if you could create a data output in JSON format (which was influencing the bugs_udd script. The reason is that NeuroDebian would like to use this output to create their own pages. However, I would not make this a preference since I noticed that the code becomes quite hard to read that way and I would prefer clean code over this feature. The rationale behind this is that it might turn out to be a misfeature from a taktical point of view since it allows this team to play in their own playground rather than using and enhancing Blends tools directly. ;-) I have no other general hints except that it might probably be the best to start coding from scratch since the hackish coding of the existing tasks.py + used modules might not very helpful to get a clean design. Re-using the SQL queries (after checking!) might make sense. Hope this helps Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
