Bug#448279: [new] wipnity: "Why is package X not in testing yet?" query script

[Julian Mehnle]

Package: devscripts
Severity: wishlist

I'd like to suggest the inclusion of a command-line script that queries
<http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/>.  I am attaching one that I wrote and
use.  It depends on w3m and libterm-size-perl.

Here's some example output to give you an idea (although it's kind of
obvious if you know <http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/>):

  $ wipnity kmail
  Checking kmail

    * binary package kmail is part of source package kdepim
        + trying to update kdepim from 4:3.5.7-4 to 4:3.5.8-1
          (candidate is 10 days old)
        + kdepim is not yet built on arm: 4:3.5.7-4 vs 4:3.5.8-1
          (missing 45 binaries)
        + kdepim is not yet built on powerpc: 4:3.5.7-4 vs 4:3.5.8-1
          (missing 45 binaries)
        + kdepim is waiting for kdelibs
            o kdelibs is only 2 days old. It must be 10 days old to go
              in.
            o kdelibs is not yet built on arm: 4:3.5.7.dfsg.1-7 vs
              4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-3 (missing 3 binaries: kdelibs-dbg,
              kdelibs4-dev, kdelibs4c2a)
            o kdelibs is not yet built on powerpc: 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-1 vs
              4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-3 (missing 3 binaries: kdelibs-dbg,
              kdelibs4-dev, kdelibs4c2a)

  Dependency analysis (including build-depends; i386 only):

    * kdepim depends on kdelibs4-dev >= 4:3.5.8 but testing has
      4:3.5.7.dfsg.1-7 (unstable has 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-3)
        + binary package kdelibs4-dev is part of source package kdelibs
          (explained above)

Julian.
