Bug#792564: qa.d.o/dose: please export distcheck and buildcheck results in a machine readable format

[Johannes Schauer <josch@debian.org>]

Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

it would be useful to show information about unsatisfiability of binary
and source packages in DMD and the tracker. For that, qa.d.o/dose should
export machine readable data of the latest runs of distcheck and
buildcheck. I guess that the dose yaml format would be sufficient for
this.

It would also be interesting if DMD and the tracker could link back to
the right page on qa.d.o/dose. For that purpose it would be useful to
have stable urls for a given source package which would then redirect to
the page of that source package with the latest timestamp. So then
instead of linking to:

https://qa.debian.org/dose/debcheck/src_unstable_main/1436936416/packages/analog.html

one could link to:

https://qa.debian.org/dose/debcheck/src_unstable_main/packages/analog.html

I guess it would be okay if that url would 404 if no results exist for
that package for the latest run.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
