Hi, > it would be even better if lintian provided up-to-date data.
Tracker.d.o relies on a traditional batch file called qa-list.txt. [1] In the past, I had to generate it via UDD [2] because the Lintian database (on puny, non-DSA hardware) had too little memory to run the self-JOIN. Updating UDD became harder when Lintian started to update its database dynamically, for example to illustrate bug fixes. Like tracker.d.o, UDD uses a batch system for imports, while the Lintian website does everything on demand. [3] It is not possible to feed partial updates to UDD. I finally found a benevolent donor for Lintian's database and can now run the query, but lintian.d.o lacks the installation prerequisites. Unfortunately, DSA has been too busy to work on it, and just told me so last week. It might help if you could lean on them to please process RT#8721. At a minimum, we need ghc and cabal-install. Thanks! Kind regards Felix Lechner [1] https://lintian.debian.org/static/qa-list.txt [2] https://udd-mirror.debian.net/ [3] https://lintian.debian.org/query
