Sure - Italy is famous for good taste. (My son is a really great fan of everything coming from Italy, but at most from soccer ... ;-))
I've successfully implemented this, take a look :)
This is really great. We now gained another really good tool. BTW, on which palce in SVN can I find the code? I'd like to mention this in the Merida workshop.
This kind of format is not a problem: I believe it's possible to implement it in the same Python script. For clarity, I'd put these prospective packages in a "wnpp" task file, possibly adding a "Task:" field to point to which task they belong to. This will let me use separate methods for wnpp packages, instead of using heuristics to determine if it's an available package or a wnpp one.
I'll discuss this idea in the workshop. Sounds like a reasonable alternative and there will probably no real package CDD-wnpp - so we could exclude this easily from the meta package building code.
Well, I'd have to change the Python script again :@
I guess you are not the only one who would be unhappy about such a move. Just count me in - I would have to rewrite another piece of code that was not even written by myself and thus I have not even understood it completely.
I believe that the task files should only mention available packages -- prospective ones should be put into a separate wnpp task.
You have your point here. On the other hand this will leave out one advantage I mentioned that we would get the not yet existing packages in the Suggests list and once they appear the user profit immediately without uploading a new meta package set. This would reduce the maintainance work of meta packages.
P.S.: the update-bugs script now takes a lot of time (about 10 minutes) to complete (the increased number of packages...) -- SOAP isn't that fast (or maybe it's SOAPpy's fault) -- but, hey, we're updating that twice a day, I don't believe it would be a problem to Alioth.
If you ask me - a hourly update is more than apropriate. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
