Package: release.debian.org User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: tools Severity: wishlist
In order to avoid surprises, and because history teaches us that relying on people to manually check things is doomed to fail, it would be useful to have a number of reports on the state of the archive generated and the results e-mailed to us regularly. It may also be worth considering having the results made available via the release.d.o web site. (During initial discussions, the suggestion was a daily status diff with a full report being sent weekly.) The set of reports I thought of so far were: - packages in NEW destined for pu (I have an SQL query for this already, if it helps) - packages in stable-updates with older versions than those in stable - packages in stable-updates where the package has been removed from stable - packages in stable-security where the package has been removed from stable (already available online as part of the queue-viewer output, but still requires someone to check) In each case, "stable" should be read as "stable and oldstable (while supported).
