Hi, As far as I know, Lintian exports a file called "qa-list.txt" for consumption by the QA infrastructure. Particularly I suspect that the PTS and the DDPO consumes this file to display the relevant TODO item/column. If anyone is aware of any other consumers, do let me know about it (and let them know about this mail).
I propose to extend this file (or alternatively publish a second file with the extensions) to include the version number of the package in question. Currently the format is: source E W I P X O and I propose we extend it to: source source-version E W I P X O [FORMAT]. The rationale is that we are expanding lintian.d.o to process other packages than just sid. For now, the result is that the numbers will just be summed if a package is both in sid and experimental[1]. I am also open to suggestions to alternative (or additional) formats in case people are interested in other data from lintian.d.o. ~Niels [FORMAT] Where: source is the name of the source package source-version is the version of said source package E is the number of "error" (E) tags W is the number of "warning" (W) tags (and so on for IPXO). [1] Example, currently the entry for eclipse in sid is looking like: eclipse 0 2 2 0 5 206 At the current rate, it will (probably) look something like: eclipse 0 4 4 0 10 412 In the extended format, it would be something like: eclipse 3.8.0~rc4-1 0 2 2 0 5 206 eclipse 3.8.1-1 0 2 2 0 5 206 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
