Bug#966649: Request for feedback on upload_history re-implementation

[Asheesh Laroia <asheesh@asheesh.org>]

Hi Andreas & Lucas & all,

Lucas -- I'm making progress on re-implementing this. I'd love your input by email or IRC about my approach, but if you're busy, feel free to ignore this and I'll mention you again when I submit a patch.

Andreas -- The codebase at https://github.com/paulproteus/debian-devel-changes-history-extractor can be run on your system and generate a "upload_history" table. Would you be willing to try it out and let me know if it meets your needs?

The README at the URL above has some information about how to use it.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hF_zuc_03m3a_VwOO5hpjp5vETNjVxMx?usp=sharing is a Google Drive folder (owned by me) which contains an upload_history.sqlite file you can use. This would allow you to query the current database without using the code to create it. (Feel free to also use the code to create your own DB.)

I'm happy to discuss by IRC or private email or BTS email what you would need next. I do hope to resolve the issues listed in the bug tracker on GitHub, but I haven't yet, and feedback will help me prioritize.

Per the info in the README, I'd like to get this merged into UDD in the long run, and be happy to have a discussion about the best way to do so. There are a few issues I want to fix before formally submitting it -- see https://github.com/paulproteus/debian-devel-changes-history-extractor/issues for a list.

Cheers,

Asheesh.
