As I see the script is really short, couldn't it be merged into grep-excuses as an option? -- Mohammed Adnène Trojette

Mohammed Adnène Trojette wrote: What's significantly different from grep-excuses in wipnity? I have little idea since I have never used grep-excuses before. However, from looking at it now, it seems that grep-excuses doesn't work for source package names, and doesn't give all the information that wipnity does, such as build dependency info (and it gives some information that wipnity doesn't, such as the maintainer name and bugs fixed). As I see the script is really short, couldn't it be merged into grep-excuses as an option? It probably could. However since I'm not a regular user (or, really no user at all) of grep-excuses, I'm probably not the best person to decide how it should be merged. I see that devscripts is team-maintained. What do the other members of your team think? Julian. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Bug#448279: [new] wipnity: Why is package X not in testing yet? query script
Package: devscripts Severity: wishlist I'd like to suggest the inclusion of a command-line script that queries http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/. I am attaching one that I wrote and use. It depends on w3m and libterm-size-perl. Here's some example output to give you an idea (although it's kind of obvious if you know http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/): $ wipnity kmail Checking kmail * binary package kmail is part of source package kdepim + trying to update kdepim from 4:3.5.7-4 to 4:3.5.8-1 (candidate is 10 days old) + kdepim is not yet built on arm: 4:3.5.7-4 vs 4:3.5.8-1 (missing 45 binaries) + kdepim is not yet built on powerpc: 4:3.5.7-4 vs 4:3.5.8-1 (missing 45 binaries) + kdepim is waiting for kdelibs o kdelibs is only 2 days old. It must be 10 days old to go in. o kdelibs is not yet built on arm: 4:3.5.7.dfsg.1-7 vs 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-3 (missing 3 binaries: kdelibs-dbg, kdelibs4-dev, kdelibs4c2a) o kdelibs is not yet built on powerpc: 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-1 vs 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-3 (missing 3 binaries: kdelibs-dbg, kdelibs4-dev, kdelibs4c2a) Dependency analysis (including build-depends; i386 only): * kdepim depends on kdelibs4-dev = 4:3.5.8 but testing has 4:3.5.7.dfsg.1-7 (unstable has 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-3) + binary package kdelibs4-dev is part of source package kdelibs (explained above) Julian. wipnity Description: Perl program
