Bug#785570: britney: Use w-b to provide more detailed reports on missing/o-o-d binaries
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: britney
With a simple "psql service=wanna-build" we can reach the wanna-build
database from release.d.o. Using that database, we can provide more
detailed "excuses" for why a package will not migrate.
Concretely, I believe this could happen as below:
* The "britney" wrapper pulls the data from wanna-build and puts
in a data format understood by britney2.
* Britney2 optionally consumes the data as a part of writing the
excuses.
This allows britney2 to remain an "off-line" tool. Note that the
"britney" wrapper already fetches on-line data (e.g. from the BTS), so
it already depends on network access.
Thanks,
~Niels
