Re: Fwd: Bug#489861: QA page doesn't work for metapackages

I guess you want this

Yes exactly what I was after - except that it doesn't track the
upstream versions.
BTW, we also track upstream versions via
http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/qareport.cgi
I have not yet dived into the technique which was used for this but
I think that David Paleino who wrote the page told me he is querying
the QA pages somehow. (Feel free to inspect the code - it is in
Debian Med SVN.) Same as I told for bugs page here: I plan to port
this for general CDD - please be patient - or just start porting it
yourself meanwhile. ;-)
And through further exploration, I realise that rather than hand
crafting the URL each time, I could potentially subscribe
debian-science (or indeed a pseudo e-mail address) to all the bugs -
Well, this would not work because the packages in question are not
necessarily maintained by debian-science and there is no such thing
like a pseudo e-mail address.
it is even possible to put them in different sections - physics,
chemistry etc. The problem with doing this by hand is that it won't
be up to date with the task packages.
Well, that's why I suggest to do it the way like it is done in
Debian Med which does not require any additional stuff but works on
the basis of the tasks files of the CDD source code.
Kind regards
Andreas.
