hi folks, i am trying to write something similar to bts.turmzimmer.net, and somewhere in these i need to find out which versions of a package a given bug affects. i have read the information on the wiki, and had a quick chat with sesse, but there are still some things i do not quite understand: - how can i get the version graph as used by debbugs? is there a way on the soap to query it? will there be one in the future? is that what getversions() is for? i have of course found the raw data on merkel, but is that accessible without a login to merkel (http or so)? and how do i parse it? - i don't quite understand what the "source/version" format in found and fixed is good for. under which circumstances can this be different from the source package the bug is against? - if a bug gets reassigned, what happens to the found/fixed information? - is it correct that if i have only a "found" and the bug is not "done", all versions in the tree after the "found" are affected. - in a similar manner, if i have only the "fixed" information, all versions before that have to be considered affected? - if the version tree is only one long chain (for the sake of argument), will there be only one affected interval, or can there be multiple (e.g. found: 1;4 fixed 2;6)? can they be redundant (e.g. found: 1; 2 fixed: 4; 5) thanks robert -- Robert Lemmen http://www.semistable.com
