Hi, me again. I was trying to extract infos from the BTS system automatically and found it difficult to access specific infos. The web pages are not realy maschine friendly.
Would it be feasable to add a cgi script to access the state of a bug and details thereof. I suggest the following interface: All queries use the bugnumber as ID. The return is a simple text file. Each line in the textfile would contain one item "Field: content" http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bug-state.cgi?bug=196450 ==> Bug: #196450 Title: Simplecdrx: FTBFS with g++-3.3: Missing <cassert> include Severity: serious Package: simplecdrx Reported by: Daniel Schepler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sat, 7 Jun 2003 02:18:05 UTC Tags: fixed, patch Maintainer: Benoit Joly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Source: simplecdrx A more extensive interface would be to allow the same arguments as the web pages: http://alpha/Bugs/Bugs/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?severity=serious&type=text => Bug: #196450 Title: Simplecdrx: FTBFS with g++-3.3: Missing <cassert> include Severity: serious Package: simplecdrx Reported by: Daniel Schepler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sat, 7 Jun 2003 02:18:05 UTC Tags: fixed, patch Maintainer: Benoit Joly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Source: simplecdrx Bug: #196324 Title: xosview: FTBFS with g++-3.3: strstream.h is gone Severity: serious Package: xosview Reported by: Daniel Schepler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2003 02:33:01 UTC Tags: patch Merged with: #186499 Maintainer: Zed Pobre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Source: xosview. ... Any objection to that or is there alreay something like it? MfG Goswin
