OK, maybe I was overly grumpy last time I commented, I didn't mean to
sound hostile.

As for the autopkg tests, you're right that building the package is
something.

But one of the goals of a MIR is to ensure that packages are well
maintained.  And letting the integration tests bit rot for six months is
not a great sign.

Ideally either the unity-scope-click maintainers would have gone down a
stack and committed to fixing the harness or applied enough pressure to
the harness maintainers to commit to fixing it.

Neither happened, which is why I'm a touch worried that we'll never get
to the point of turning the integration tests back on, simply because no
one is working on it.

Can you commit to putting resources into it or find someone that can?
According to the bug it's easy to reproduce.  Just a little hard to fix.

As for the database, yes an sqlite database isn't quite as bad as an
executable blob sitting there.

Someone *could* generate the same database, *if* they knew which locales
were specified on the command line *and* what clicks were installed on
the system at the time (right, it pulls list of clicks from the
installed set?).

At a minimum, I'd like to see some documentation.  Like a README saying
"install latest Touch image and run 'init-departments my.db en_US zh_CN
fr_FR' to get this same db".

But what I'm trying to get at is, can we make it more generate-able?
Like...  Can we hardcode the list of clicks and just grab those
translations from the store?  It doesn't solve the fact that we need to
hit the network for translations, so we still can't generate the db at
build.  But at least it could be generated straight from a built tree
rather than having to set up a separate Touch system.
