Hi,
Thanks for taking this over, I wrote the first version of the site
almost ten years ago now and am quite amazed it's still being used
despite people complaining about it for about as long as it existed (but
nobody coming with anything better either) :)
I actually sort of like it and I think it has potential. Nobody replace it,
please! ;D
But I think the same about the LoCo Portal. ;)
About the API, one request I would have is to make sure to update any
script used in production by the Ubuntu project ahead of making any
backward-incompatible API change.
I doubt this will happen but I see where you are coming from. :)
Those scripts are in lp:ubuntu-archive or in the cdimage branches and
are responsible for auto-posting images to the tracker, triggering
builds upon request and doing the image publishing for milestones.
We don't exercise all of those daily so it can be weeks/months before we
notice a breakage and having to fix things in a rush as we are trying to
push a milestone out the door isn't much fun.
I agree, I'll watch out for this and maybe work with the maintainer(s) of the
script(s) to make sure this doesn't happen. If you do maintain a script that
uses the API, please contact me. :)
Keep up the great work!
I hope that this turns out to be really useful for the future.
If you have any further suggestions, please let me know. :)
It seems like there is an embedded version of the qatracker.py file in
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-archive/ubuntu-archive-tools/trunk/files,
which I believe also contains the scripts Stéphane is talking about. I'm
not sure how this can be rectified long-term, but at least in the
short-term, it needs to stay in sync with what's in the repo.
