I need an API that can help make these links more like the 4th link by exporting the amount of patches for each supported package version: https://packages.qa.debian.org/~pabs/g/glibc.html (want patch counts, versions/suites in title attributes) https://packages.qa.debian.org/~pabs/n/nsis.html (3.0 has no patches, needs hiding) https://packages.qa.debian.org/~pabs/0/0x.html (no version has patches, all need hiding, want single version anyway) https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?att=1;bug=779400;filename=distro-tracker-patches-mockup.png;msg=5 For me the ideal data set would be a list of packages with 1 or more patches, each with the associated suite names, version numbers and patch counts, or files patched counts for packages that use diff.gz. I'd prefer if it didn't include patch info for obsolete suites. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Doing so would enable us to actually know which packages do have patches, or better which versions of each package have patches. till then it is not feasible to have this kind of information. Unfortunately this effort is currently stalled due to the fact that i got a job and my contributions to debsources have dropped considerably. By june things are looking much better on my end so i hope to resume the work on this plugins (+ other things i ve been working on) If anyone is willing to do this in the meantime, then i could push somewhere the work i've already done (modification for the DB schema, and i think a prototype of the plugin). in the list archive there should be a discussion about this as well. cheers, Orestis

Thanks for the report. I'm not sure this is a bug. The /api/list endpoint was meant to list all packages, containing 0 or more patches. Orestis, any memory of this rationale?
