Bug#509548: qa.debian.org: changes needed in ldap2bugs / bugs.txt generation
Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: normal
The scripts should be fixed to cope with "src:foo" as package assignment.
<buxy> dondelelcaro: wishlist, could the BTS refuse package names with ":" in it ?
example: 504907
it ends up creation problems further down in automated scripts that rely on the fact that a package name can't have : in et
in it
<adsb> "src:foo" is somewhat of a special case
I actually did that reassign on dondelelcaro's advice here last night...
<dondelelcaro> buxy: src:foo is how the BTS is going to encode that a package is actually assigned to the source package foo
<buxy> ok, so that's a new case to deal with
<dondelelcaro> buxy: but yeah, my current development branch has code that disallows most cases of invalid package names
buxy: that said, anything that is using data from the BTS shouldn't validate the data in the package field
<dondelelcaro> (though feel free to validate data being sent to the BTS)
<buxy> cool, I saw "severity:" and "version:" as package names already :)
<dondelelcaro> yeah; those will all be disallowed
<buxy> I'm not validating anything but http://qa.debian.org/data/ddpo/results/bugs.txt uses : as separator and it breaks when it gets one more unexpected separator
<dondelelcaro> ah
heh; yeah, : probably isn't a good choice for a separator
tab or space or something is probably better
(but probably too late for that now)
