Package: piuparts.debian.org Severity: wishlist Hi,
at the moment the status Blocked (X) is used for several different problems: * dependency failed testing * dependency uninstallable * dependency does not exist In the piuparts column on DDPO, all these are shown as 'X'. As a maintainer, I'd like to see only problems on my DDPO page that I could do something about. That means I wouldn't normally care about dependencies failing or being uninstallable (I could see that problem when looking at the DDPO or piuparts page for that package), but I would certainly care about my dependencies not being there at all because then I need to fix my package. Could we hence make "dependency does not exist" use a different status? What about "Missing (M)"? The plan would be not to show Waiting (W) and Blocked (X) on DDPO anymore by default (or less scary, W looks a lot like Warning and X like Bad ThinXs happening), so the remaining, effectively bad status values would receive more attention from maintainers.[*] (I can probably try to produce a patch, but given the status values are likely used in a gazillion of places, I would probably break more than someone familiar with the code.) Thanks, Christoph [*] I've certainly started to treat Piuparts notifications on DDPO with less priority personally because the SNR there isn't optimal. -- c...@df7cb.de | http://www.df7cb.de/
