Well, my thought as I wrote the tool was to make it work with Debian too, but I haven't had much luck doing some things outside of using the Launchpad API... but there's also that I'm more familiar with that, so maybe people have some tricks up their sleeve that I'm not aware of, aside from using madison... I couldn't figure a way to grab Debian build logs and results (which are useful when considering migration of packages in Ubuntu anyway) aside from putting together the URLs, and then you're at the mercy of these things changing. To improve on this, we should also make it easier to parse excuses and update_output.txt. I started a discussion about this at https://github.com/Debian/britney2/issues/3. I'll get started on a PR for the code changes I was thinking off on that related aspect of things. -- Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre <mathieu...@gmail.com> Freenode: cyphermox, Jabber: mathieu...@gmail.com 4096R/65B58DA1 818A D123 0992 275B 23C2 CF89 C67B B4D6 65B5 8DA1
