It may also help to know whether the package is already in Debian (with

And while we're writing the wishlist, please also inclulde:
Same story from before. I'm going to write up how these can be fixed!
* output from lintian -IX --pedantic
Difficulty: 0 (super easy)
(step 0: get the latest code from git)
Step 1: edit debexpo/plugins/lintian.py
Right now, we call lintian like this:
output = commands.getoutput('lintian %s' % self.changes_file)
You can adjust the command however you see fit.
Step 2: Submit a patch
* changelog entry with colorized RC-bugs that are fixed
Difficulty: 1
(step 0: get the latest code from git)
Step 1: read how we do I/O to the bug tracker now
Read debexpo/plugins/closedbugs.py
Step 2: Adjust that plugin, or write a new one, to generate the new
report you want
Step 3: Make sure it shows up properly w/r/t HTML escaping
Step 4: Submit a patch
* whether or not the orig.tar.gz is original
How do we detect this programmatically?
* if there is a previous version in debian, debdiff to the source
basically more similar to http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html
That would be a really good thing! I would suggest tying that to a new
URL. If there is a previous version in Debian, the package page on
expo.debian.net can link to the expo.debian.net/$package/$version/debdiff
URL.
Difficulty: 2 (a non-trivial bit of code, but no major architecture
changes)
Step 0: Get the code
Step 1: Read the lintian plugin to have a sense of how a non-trivial
plugin works
That's in debexpo/plugins/lintian.py
Step 2: Read the code that makes the package page display
That would be:
* debexpo/config/routing.py
* debexpo/controllers/package.py
* debexpo/model/packages.py
* debexpo/templates/package/index.mako
Step 3: Create a new URL that displays nothing
Do that by creating a new method in debexpo/controllers/package.py and
tying it to a route in routing.py.
Make sure your browser successfully loads it.
Step 4: Create a new plugin that will store these debdiffs
You'll need to make a new model, also.
Step 5: Make the plugin actually run debdiff, which will include
downloading the package from Debian
Step 6: Make the plugin store those results in the database
Step 7: Make the package info page link to the debdiff URL if
there is any debdiff content
Step 8: Make the debdiff URL actually show the debdiff contents
Step 9: Submit a patch
-- Asheesh.
