This is not gonna be exactly the *same* way, since you're not connected to the debian w-b db. What my script does is that it emulates the process by extracting the differences between the source packages and the binary packages to figure out which ones need to be built. If you want to trigger a full rebuild of the archive, it's easy (just pretend that the binary package list is /dev/null). You're not gonna be hooked to incoming.d.o (where new packages get uploaded) but it's not so bad already. I believe this could be an easy way to get started. Attached is a slightly simplified version of the script I use. It will probably need some adjustment on your side, read it carefully. It might look familiar to LaMont, as it's based on his teachings ;-) It depends on wget, quinn-diff and wanna-build being properly installed. It needs to be run as the user who owns the wb db (usually "buildd"). After the script has run, the wb db is populated with a list of packages and their associated state, and the buildd can then pick outdated packages (that needs to be built) from it, given proper configuration in buildd.conf. If it's not clear enough, I'll walk you through the setup on IRC in the next couple days. HTH -- Thibaut VARENE http://www.parisc-linux.org/~varenet/
