Hi, sorry if you receive this mail multiple times but I try to reach everybody who is interested in edos-debcheck.
We are currently working on the next generation of edos-debcheck and edos-builddebcheck (and some other related tools) which will be based on a new library (dose3). So this is the best moment to rethink command line usage and output formats. Following the remarks and bug reports we received for the current edos-debcheck we made a proposal on http://wiki.debian.org/EDOS/ProposalDose3 Please have a look. The changes to command line options are probably not very dramatic (however note that one would have to say explicitely when one wants to use stdin). More important is the change in output format: we propose a unique format based on YAML. Zack and me will be at debconf, so if you are attending then please talk to us. If we find an agreement then we will work after debconf to implement the interface. We have already working programs which are just awaiting the final definition of command line optins and output format, so this should be quick now. Packages will be first put into experimental, until we are certain that they can replace the old edos-debcheck. This means that they will not go into squeeze, unless there will be a dramatic change in the release schedule. -Ralf. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
