I'm not sure what the publicity teams stance on python scripts is, but imo they are a bit more readable than shell (though maybe not in the case of this oneliner ;) ). I have also looked at the `create-rc-stats` script and tried to get an idea of the information that is extracted from udd. I've created a python script that does the statements against the public udd, but it runs a couple of hours and it always failes with one or two statements. So i took the urls the html output links to and fetched their json representation from the udd webform and parsed that in the script [1]. I still have to update the URLs for current Debian version though- i'll try to look at that next week. cheers, bisco [0] https://salsa.debian.org/bisco-guest/dpn/commit/423e0b543f3b37685fb5a0c3ab6aa8c23eff56a7 [1] https://salsa.debian.org/bisco-guest/dpn/commit/4c3c2f74196079266fa731076219d5cf1014876e > > > [1]https://salsa.debian.org/publicity-team/dpn/tree/master/scripts > > > Cheers, >
