At the moment, UDD runs an update script about once every 3 hours (and a slightly more extensive run once a day)[1]. Optimally, we would have no delay at all - there are IRC bots that post the bugs within a minute or two of them being opened or closed[1].
It does not have to be UDD's bug view; if you can create a live updated bug view with good filtering on top of the Debian BTS that would be fine with me as well. As long as the result is good for finding and squashing RC bugs or finding packages that are missing an unblock[2]. To get all the information in near real time (e.g the "Affects Wheezy" and "Affects sid" information), I guess that the BTS side /may/ need changes as well. I admit the idea is not well fleshed out or researched, so it may need a bit of work to mold it into a proper GSoC. It would also need mentors that are actually familiar with UDD or/and the BTS on a development basis (my experience is limted to "user"). ~Niels [1] http://udd.debian.org/crontabs.txt The "extensive" part appears to just be "bugs-archive". Doing that once per day should be fine (bugs are not archived faster than that anyway). [2] UDD has a decent view of this here: http://udd.debian.org/bugs.cgi?release=wheezy_not_sid&merged=ign&unblock-hint=ign&fnewerval=7&rc=1&sortby=id&sorto=asc&chints=1&ctags=1&cdeferred=1&crttags=1 _______________________________________________ Soc-coordination mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/soc-coordination
