Bug#729223: ben: provide state of the package in testing, too
Package: ben Version: 0.6.6 Severity: wishlist Hi, looking at the transition tracker pages, I sometimes would like to know about the state of a transition in testing, not unstable. E.g. when I filed 729214 I had no clue whether the openmpi1.6 packages had started migrating to testing ... Not sure how this could be presented, perhaps an additional column to the left with four possible values (colors): good, bad, unknown, sid-only.

What would be the meaning of good, bad, unknown in this case? Note that there is already sid-only. Whether the package in testing satisfies the transition properties as they are defined for sid. At the initial setup of a transition I would expect that everything starts with bad/unknown/sid-only which turns into good/unknown/sid-only once the full transition migrates - except in a few cases where something is forcefully hinted intentionally breaking something (like the 99% complete almost finished transitions) or something weird happened (as for hypre, see #729214). Thinking about libopenmpi1.6 there might be more cases where packagea are initially good. But packages that are bad in jessie usually indicate this blocks the removal of something obsolete.

You mean the color of the source column (which is a combination of per-arch states) if the monitor were run on testing? This basically means running the monitor twice: once for unstable, and once for testing. It would even produce less data (loss of per-arch states in testing) for the same amount of computation. I think this should be done directly on the release.debian.org setup. Cheers, -- Stéphane -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
