ara and anla at debian.net|org
Hello,
As most of you know there is a web interface to ara [1] and edos-debcheck [2]
(both packages are in Debian). These are great tools for package searching
and problem diagnostics wrt QA of the packages, and I have received several
messages from various people like "I am considering to submit a bug against
packages.debian.org, asking them to replace the search of packages.debian.org
by ara" ;-)
This of course is great, but I have some questions which answers have
probably been discussed during the meeting of a group of DDs with the
EDOS-project people.
1) What version of ara runs at ara.edos-project.org ? I suspect it is some
sort of enhanced version of svn.debian.org/svn/ara/branches/1.1.0 ? Currently
1.1.0 branch as found in svn does not compile, so I suspect there are some
changes which has been applied to that tree. If there is anyone in close
contact with EDOS people please ask them to send us the changes and probably
to help merging bits from their 1.1.0 branch to the current ara's trunk.
2) Is there any enhancements to edos-debcheck to run at [2] ?
3) Should we ask for ara.debian.net (or .org) and anla.debian.net (or .org) ?
I guess that running them in parallel to packages.debian.org would benefit
much more users and reveal is a complete transition is needed and/or
possible. This will also show what needs to be done in the future. I can
imagine this could be a great help to QA and RM folks.
