Package: buildd.debian.org
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
getbuildlog from devscripts currently parses the HTML generated by
fetch.php. This is unsurprisingly brittle, and causes bugs like
#651286.
I think it would be nicer if buildd.d.o would expose some
semi-stable (JSON?) API which getbuidlog could use.
getbuildlog, per its documentation, wants to support filtering by
these things:
- package name (mandatory)
- optional version, as a grep -E pattern, or "last"
- optional arch, as a grep -E pattern
The filtering could be done server- or client-side. It would be good
to get things like "+" in version numbers right.
Thanks,
Chris

It has been committed to https://salsa.debian.org/wb-team/wbpy/ in the
meantime, so resolving the bug.
Kind regards
