Cool, I wasn't aware of that. So this is the way to go for the PTS: download daily the list of packages with errors/warnings, and generate links only for them. This is a general recipe followed also per other kind of links, e.g. svnbuildstat (now that it is fixed). > However, be aware that the next version of lintian will offer two lintian > pages for each maintainer, one view that shows only errors and warnings as > is currently done and a second that offers a full view that includes info, > experimental, and overridden tags.

No problem, what do you suggest for the policy for presenting links from the PTS? i.e. when do you want to see the link to one and when the link to the other? > I'm not sure if I should leave qa-list.txt as-is and generate a second > full list with more columns, or add more columns to the existing file. > Probably the former to be safe. PTS side there wouldn't be any significant difference, since the conditional logics for presenting lintian links is not yet implemented. Hence I'm for the simpler solution: one single file with all the info. Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- PhD in Computer Science ............... now what?
