Ok I will ask in the mailing list

started with a README file in udd/sql.  Perhaps it is appropriate to
continue here.

You mean in the udd/sql/README from the git://git.debian.org/git/collab-qa/udd.git ?

BTW, I just commited and tested the "Section", "Enhances", etc.  keys
and will implemented in production UDD in a couple of hours.

wow that was fast :-)

 

 The
stumbling stone was (as usual) totally unconnected with my change[1].
The whole update process of tasks was broken by some change and I needed
to fix this first.

Yes I checked the issue from your url, weird.

|Done for UDD importer, needs to be done in Blends doc.

:-), I will try from now on be that responsive in my code fixes and progress

So with these new fields and soon as we have the alternative packages I think we can generate the control/task-description containing the same info they contain from the current blend-gen-control. 

I only have one note: Sorry I forgot mention yesterday about one extra header/field because I did not find any relevant header in any Blend's tasks(or I may missed something).In the current blend-gen-control in print_task_desc() (lines 276-280) there is:

for $header (keys %{$taskinfo{$task}}) {

  if ($header =~ m/test-.+/i) {

    print "$header: $taskinfo{$task}{$header}\n";

  }

}

So it looks for a header inside a task which contains a substring matching the regex "test-.+", as I said I did not find any header like that in the task files. Which header case does this cover? Does the blend-gen-control should include it ? That's the last missing part (sorry I did not mention this yesterday with the rest extra headers), if we solve this that then we fully imitate the current  blend-gen-control's functionality.

Kind regards

Emmanouil
