1. Is there an automated way to know whether or not dcmtk people made a new snapshot ? I have added a watch file in packages/dcmtk/branches/experimental/debian/watch but I do not know where this is reported that a new snapshot has been released.
If you subscribe to the package[1] you get an information via e-mail (in case the watch file is correct).
2. Looking at http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/qareport.cgi I still do not see report neither on dicom3tools nor on pvrg. Is there anything else I need to do ?
IMHO the best place to look at for QA information (at least for the moment - I plan to provide better interfaces for Blends, which will probably be done in Debian Edu gathering at end of January) is http://qa.debian.org/[email protected]&ordering=3#imaging if you are looking for imaging tasks of Debian Med. There you can find a column Watch (Unstable) which has a link to the DEHS page for each package. The DEHS page for dcmtk[2] contains a field "Watch Wiz" which reports an error and if you follow this link you see that the watch line is different from the watch file in SVN. I assume without having verified that the version in SVN is your fixed code which might work. But this watch file is not yet in operation because the DEHS only takes watch files in just uploaded packages into account. So the right information about upstream will be available after the cron run which follows the package upload conteining a valid watch file. If anybody thinks the packaging in SVN is ready for a new upload of the dcmtk package I would suggest to do so. For dicom3tools and pvrg there is no information available because these are not yet official packages and there is currently no global infrastructure to scan SVN. I know that the perl team has a QA reporting tool that does this and David Paleino has adopted this tool for Debian Med and this is available at http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/qareport.cgi but I'm not sure how it internally works - at least it claims that dcmtk is up to date. Kind regards and have a nice Christmas Andreas.
