Hi all, I've enabled daily updates to the census data[1] (except patch stuff). Currently that means that the sources.list checker and the Packages and Sources checker are now more useful and that I get daily mails when some derivatives have broken apt archives or fail in other ways. Currently that list includes Parsix (their mod_security config throws 403 errors at me[2]) and MetamorphoseLinux (see my previous mail[3]). I would like to add more people to the cron mail recipients, volunteers? Some things that need to be done if anyone would like to help out: * debtags.d.n configuration generator * make the planet.d.o/deriv config generator less monolithic * www.d.o/derivatives generator to replace /misc/children-distros * think through and fix all of the current issues with the patch generation stuff, then enable daily generation * work with mehdi to implement a suitable UI for qa.d.o for maintainers to view, tag and hide patches from derivatives * lots of unimplemented ideas for checking Packages/Sources files in the bin/check-package-list script * add a way to mail diffs for specific config files (such as planet or debtags) to the designated maintainers of those services. * move the checkers to a lintian-style setup and possibly use parts of the lintian code to generate a lintian.d.o style website. * audit the scripts for security issues * add statistics and graphs * your idea here If anyone wants to work on any of these, please poke me on IRC, I would love to help get more people working on the census scripts. 1. http://dex.alioth.debian.org/census/ 2. http://forums.parsix.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1230 3.
