Re: Re: Re: facility to access the NEWS content
Hi Gregor,
Yes that is part of my concern target but I trying also to find out more
candidate contents among the package files or may be to design a remote resource
for that so it would be possible to extend 'dnews' if-else-cases with one that
would be to display the output of an URL base on the package name for instance.
First I have build a script that tries to picture the situation in Debian based
on some parameters (here release="sid" and archs="all amd64"):
changelog=30189
NEWS=2409
other=12799
changelog.Debian=59702
missing=5374
debs=65076
udebs=400
packages=65606
sources=34266
projects=33479
My terminology is somewhat approximate but I hope it is quite clear:
a project may have different (version) sources at a same time (think of mariadb
10.5 and 10.6 for instance), a source gives one or more packages, one package
may be a udeb or a deb, etc.
Then 'changelog.Debian' shows the count of (debs) having a
u/s/d/<pkg>/changelog.Debian.gz or in absent a doc/<pkg>/changelog.gz that is
supposed to be its equivalent (for some Debian-specific source packages).
Similarly 'NEWS' is the count of the packages having a u/s/d/<pkg>/NEWS.gs and
finally 'changelog' is the count of the packages having a
u/s/d/<pkg>/changelog.gz
'other' are possible interesting files to look into.
'missing' are packages not in 'changelog.Debian' like 'xvile' package for
instance:
$ apt-file list xvile
xvile: /etc/X11/app-defaults/UXVile
xvile: /etc/X11/app-defaults/XVile
xvile: /usr/bin/uxvile
xvile: /usr/bin/xvile
xvile: /usr/share/applications/uxvile.desktop
xvile: /usr/share/applications/xvile.desktop
xvile: /usr/share/doc/xvile
xvile: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/vile.png
xvile: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/vile.svg
xvile: /usr/share/man/man1/uxvile.1.gz
xvile: /usr/share/man/man1/xvile.1.gz
xvile: /usr/share/pixmaps/vile.xpm
xvile: /usr/share/vile/vilemenu.rc
xvile: /usr/share/vile/xshell.sh
The script is currently also detecting some «collision» cases that may be
interesting to check in case of there is an underlying packaging issue to be
reported but I think that this is already handled, right?
