Actually, the PTS side should be already working since about one
year. I implemented it after we discussed the API. The URL that
currently the PTS tries to download is
http://piuparts.debian.org/results-per-source.txt (so yes, *source*
packages here).
Then, for each matching packages which reports a failure an "issue"
(central area, just above the news feed) will be added with the
following text (bare with me with XSLT tags):
<xsl:text>A </xsl:text> <a href="http://piuparts.debian.org/source/{$package}/latest";>recent run</a>
<xsl:text> of </xsl:text>
<a href="http://piuparts.debian.org";>Piuparts</a> <xsl:text> found an error on this package.
You should fix it.</xsl:text>
I don't understand all the fuss about adding it in the PTS: it is
completely orthogonal to reporting the corresponding RC bug. Then, we
can decide how "strong" can be the way the PTS show the info.
If there are really a lot of potential false positive, I concur that
the current way is too strong. Then we can just show the link, as we
show lintian links: if there is some failure the link will be there,
otherwise it will not be.
Would that satisfy everybody?
Cheers.
