yay! keep on asking/commenting!

well... it has the highest severity for sure... (as its a rather high impact 
blocker...) - but then there are other things which are "blocking"/rather very 
importing too, eg aiding bug filing or better reporting. Those things are 
harder to file in the BTS (and probably would be severity wishlist then), 
while they are also very much needed.

(ie piuparts-report now runs for several hours each day. if there would be 
caching of the logfile-analysises this could probably go down to a few 
minutes, thus taking away load _and_ making development in this area much 
easier.

aiding bugfiling (=sub-automatic bug filing) has obvious benefits to me. bugs 
not filed are bugs not likely to be fixed, whether they are shown on 
piuparts.d.o or not...))

but really, pick what interests you! :-)

see svn+ssh://holger@svn.debian.org/svn/piuparts/piatti/README.txt

have you looked at http://wiki.debian.org/piuparts/ ? It has a "Howto setup a 
piuparts test-instance for development" which says: *to be written* - maybe 
you can enhance that and eg.  need the link to the above mentioned 
README.txt?! :)

hm, but then this url _is_ mentioned in 
http://piuparts.debian.org/doc/README.html#_running_piuparts_in_master_slave_mode_piuparts_report_and_the_setup_on_piuparts_debian_org

but still - I'm the old fart here and you didnt find the information, so 
probably _you_ have more useful insight how to improve the docs than I do! ;-)

"direct mode" works reasonable well, there is IMO "more room for improvement" 
in the parts that deal with processing 30k logs per distro, IOW, large scale 
testing.

but it's also (always) the little things that matter much!


cheers,
