Bug#472809: PTS: access buildinfo.gz files
Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
while trying to debug obscure things, I had to often check up the
dh_buildinfo generated buildinfo.gz file for the architecture of the bug
submitter. To do so, I had to go through a few steps like fetching the
.deb from packages.debian.org and diving into it to get the
buildinfo.gz.
It would be useful to be able to download just the buildinfo.gz file
of a package for any architecture where the package has been built.
Well, ideally it would be useful to download any specific file from a
package, and then buildinfo.gz could just be a link into the 'any file'
download system, but that is a bit beyond of what I need. Although, a
CGI that can extract just a file from a deb and pipe it out, would be a
nice variation on the normal NM T&S exercises :)
Ciao,
Enrico
