Status of packages.debian.org - new scripts installed



Yesterday the new packages.d.o scripts were installed. They include many
improvements and fix a few bugs (BCCed XXX-done@ with this mail):

* Contain information about non-i386 packages

 Closes:  #21620: packages.debian.org: download.pl: package download pages
should support multiple architectures
  Closes: #23350 merged bug
 Closes:  #83701: packages.debian.org: pages should say on what platforms
has a package been compiled
 Closes: #131631: packages.debian.org: pages for non-i386 packages are
missing
  Closes: #141618, #146675, #220218 merged bugs
 Closes: #215999: packages.debian.org: source not found if i386 is
outdated

* Include DDTP translations

* Better parsing/using of input data

 Closes: #109338: packages.debian.org: display the installed size, too

non-US/non-free mixed together
 Closes: #202157: packages.debian.org: pages should list uploaders

* Handle virtual packages

 Closes: #155346: packages.debian.org: Please include virtual package
names when listing dependencies.
 Closes: #204099: packages.debian.org: expanding virtual packages can lead
to doubled dependencies

* Create an alternative compressed text list of all packages

 Closes: #177669: packages.debian.org: allpackages.html lists are too big

* Minor fixes:

 Closes: #125976: packages.debian.org: it shouldn't print header for
related packages when none of them exist
 Closes: #162588: packages.debian.org: please add a last-modified timezone

 Closes: #219653: packages.d.o/experimental/ table formatting bug  Closes:
#221114: packages.debian.org: Spelling error in packages overview

I will leave "#224143: www.debian.org: Packages.debian.org still not
restored" open until search_packages is back, too.

Special thanks to Joey for his work to get this done and to Joy for his
feedback while writing the scripts.

Gruesse,
  Frank Lichtenheld
