Because the format of them will change and I don't want to have to support people expecting to use them as a stable interface to the bts. > > The SOAP interface already provides access to all of the information > > that is in them anyway. > > I would agree with that, but then there is #422062... The underlying issue there is a bug in SOAP::Lite which does not get triggered when you pull the status on the corresponding bug using perl. CF: perl -MSOAP::Lite -MData::Dumper -e 'print Dumper(SOAP::Lite->uri(q(Debbugs/SOAP/Status))->proxy(q(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/soap.cgi))->get_status(q(419306))->result)' Fixing this bug in SOAP::Lite is the right way forward; I still have to check to see if it has already been fixed in more recent versions. I should have a chance to get to it before debconf. Don Armstrong -- "There's nothing remarkable about it.
