-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Lintian Mantainers,
I am currently working on trying to create a website similar to [1]. However, this site would be for packages in the four Ubuntu repositories (main, restricted, universe, and multiverse). I am already aware of [2], but Lars, the person who created that site, no longer has the scripts. He has given me the go ahead to try and recreate them. The part that I am currently struggling with is figuring out how to run lintian against all of the packages in the repositories. So far, the only method that I have come up with involves downloading all of the packages in a certain repository by parsing the Packages.gz file, and then downloading all of the packages to a directory. I could then use lintian with the --dist option to run it on all of the files in the repository. This method is not very efficient. It would take a long time to download all of the files, and it would also take up a lot of space on my hard drive. I'm hoping there is a more practical way to accomplish this. Once I figure out how to run lintian against all of the packages in the repository, it won't be that difficult to generate the html report pages. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Nathan Handler (nhandler) [1] http://lintian.debian.org/ [2] http://people.ubuntu.com/~liw/lintian/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://getfiregpg.org iEYEARECAAYFAkjFouAACgkQS7NiVFf3lejS9gCePPThj9hgQaNMTcxDUldkw90Y CBYAnjlA/O33oBI9VQD9CBiRixDZAwiW =xyxe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
