For example, would it be appropriate to document there that for arch a grab file should be used? Alternatively the description in the devref should remain vague (something like "an url pointing to a resource allowing automatic download of a debian source package") and a best practice section (either in the devref or on the wiki) should be set up documenting how to deal with the various VCS.

The attached patch adds support for the 'XS-Vcs-Browser' field in
debian/control file. That field, already used by several packages in the
archive FWIW, has a value which is a URL pointing to a web browsable
version of the VCS repository. The other fields XS-Vcs-{SVN,Arch,...}
preserve the current semantics (i.e. a "string" describing where the
version controlled sources can be found; the string is meaningful for
the given versioning system).
In addition to that the patch also support multiple repositories to be
listed for the same source package (the former behaviour of that was to
keep only one of them). Still, only one XS-Vcs-Browser field is
supported, and IMO this is the right behaviour.

The patch also removes that hyperlink, which I agree was useless. The
display format implemented by the patch is shown in the following
example (casted down to ASCII art):
Version Control: browser
raw: CVS, Subversion
With "browser" being an hyperlink to the browsable version (if any). The
"raw" line exists only if at least one XS-Vcs-XXX field (with XXX !=
"browser") exists. Each comma separated VCS system name is an hyperlink
pointing to the string given for the VCS system.
Cheers.

I'm thinking under the assumption that *a lot* of debian packages are de facto orphaned, meaning that they were packaged by people interested in having their toy packages in debian, but which are actually not used by anyone else (and hence no bug has been reported against them). A way to check if I'm right of (hopefully) wrong would be to "weight" the result using popcon results or even simply removing from the count packages whose poocon installation count is under a given threshold (to be determined ... do not ask me how :)).

Agreed, but fwiw I think that supporting "Homepage:" as requested in this bug report is even more justified than supporting Vcs-* (and notice that I actually proposed the latter). In fact 'Homepage' is a convention described in policy or devref (too lazy to check, sorry). So, since it is widespread, it is more than reasonable to support it. I'm totally in favor of using a less broken standard for that, but we can easily start supporting the current state of the art, and then support both the current syntax and the new one.

Because we already have a documented convention for how a Homepage should be specified in a debian/control, we didn't have such a convention for version control systems. For how broken it can be it is a convention which is there, and it won't be easy nor fast to change it. We can propose a better convention, but I don't see why we shouldn't support the current one.

I now that XS- goes to the Sources and should be put in the source part of debian/control. I guess XB- goes to Packages and should be put in the various binary parts of debian/control.

I agree that the most common use is for users that wants to browse to a software homepage. But data should be primarily represented (warning: mantra begins here) where they belong to. And if the Homepage information belong, as I hope we all agree upon, to a source package then there it should be represented. For the sake of usefulness than an information can be derived elsewhere where useful. The PTS web interface is an example of this: binary package pages on the web can have link to the PTS which collect together a lot of information and make them accessible to the user. If the user currently use "apt-cache show" for getting information about a package fine, if the homepage field should be shown there fine as well, but then its apt-cache show which should inherit the information (if possible) from the source record. Don't we already have examples of such inheritance? Aren't sections inherited from the source package and possibly overridden there? It is not the case that we should put an information where it is not appropriate only because the current user practice is to look there for the info. After all we are all looking for the proper place where to put this information and the Description is apparently agreed upon for not being such a place. For the reasoning above I'm convinced the Homepage information belong to the source record. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- PhD in Computer Science ... now what?

proposal: upload to the collab-maint repo orphaned packages
Hi, maybe I'm proposing something obvious or already attempted in the past here, ... but let's try anyway! In order to spread the adagio that ``every DD is Debian QA'', what about uploading to the collab-maint subversion repository on alioth [1] all the orphaned packages which lack a collaborative maintenance repository of their own? (of course then advertising the fact via the appropriate Vcs-* fields) This way every DD would be able to commit to the package giving some help, no matter how small it will be. Comments? If there are no objections, what would be the appropriate place to document this QA best practice? (So yes, it is possible that it is already this way, but I haven't found the relevant docs ...)

But ... it happened to me in the past that I was willing to fix a couple of bugs in an orphaned package but not to take over its maintenance. I guess it's a pretty common scenario. In those cases having it already in collab-maint would have eased my work. What's harmful in that? Besides, the proposal is not against your proposed course of actions: - if we find a maintainer she will have already the package in a repository, it would be enough to change the Maintainer name in debian/control and start working - if we don't, we can request the package removal, in such a case would it be a big deal to have package sources left over in collab-maint?

I'm just proposing a technical solution to ease working on orphaned packages, I'm not affecting (or at least it's not my intention, nor the foreseeable future I imagine) in any way how long a package would remain in the orphaned status, not what are the consequences of being in that status.

It seems to me that the 2 subdirs in collab-maint orphaned/ and ext-maint/ actually contain packages, so I deduce that the idea is being used in practice.

URL convention to point to per-package lintian checks
Hi, I'm working a bit on the PTS these days, and I've just noticed that the current way used to point to per-package lintian checks from the PTS is not reliable. For example, if you look at the PTS page of amule [1] you can notice that the lintian URL is dangling. The current "algorithm" implemented in the PTS to guess the appropriate lintian.debian.org page is as follows: - check if the maintainer name contains some non-ASCII characters (actually also buggy, since only some accented letters are taken into account and characters as "ô" are not) - if there are some, replaces them with "__" - replace spaces with "_" - then create a URL like http://lintian.debian.org/reports/mPATCHED_MAINTAINER_NAME.html#SRCPACKAGE This does not correspond to what lintian.debian.org is doing, partly for the PTS bug, partly for (I guess, though I'm not sure) a lintian bug which does not replace with "__" for the last character of maintainer name. For example, at [2], if you look for "Adeodato Simó" you will notice that the resulting link is http://lintian.debian.org/reports/mAdeodato_Sim.html (and indeed PTS pages for packages maintained by dato have 404 lintian links!). So, question, what is the actual algorithm used by lintian.d.o to patch maintainer names? Beside that, should I really need to implement that in the PTS as well? The alternative is that lintian.d.o is willing to implement a simpler naming scheme, for example using maintainer email and creating URLs like http://lintian.debian.org/reports/mEMAIL. In email you can patch "@" with the usual URL escape and be done with that. What about it? I think the resulting URL would even be easier to guess out of the blue. Many thanks in advance, Cheers.

Bug#457168: [pts] long version strings are ugly and enlarge too much side columns
Package: qa.debian.org Severity: minor In pages with long versions strings (see for example the attached one, which is a dump of the current mdadm page [1]) the left and right side column are ugly since they are too large; the problem being that versions strings do not contain spaces and hence can't be break by the browser. A viable solution would be to recognize when the version strings are too long (to be decided how ...) and, if so, add good break hints (using for example the unicode character U+200B) to split lines there if needed. A drawback of this would be that copy&paste of the version number will begin to contain the unicode character used as hints. Mumble ... Cheers.

No, sorry, this is not an acceptable patch (at least not by me), this is the removal of the current font size choices which, if it is one, is a different bug than that related to this bugreport. A patch for this bug would be changing the font sizes so that they use relative units instead of absolute ones (as you suggest in the end of your last message) preserving the current look and feel. The tricky part of doing that is that according to my tests "em" units are not cross-browsers compatible: I've tried with epiphany and firefox when the font size choices where in "em" and the pages looked remarkably different.

Way better. I've just applied a modified version of your patch. The change basically consists in assuming that body has the default font-size (i.e. 100%) and then recompute (with a bit of freedom ...) the other sizes according to that.

I fear the only way to go to be in sync is doing replacement character by character with a recursive template, or moving the name escaping to the Python part of the PTS.

retitle 373218 naming convention for lintian URLs is not in sync with lintian.d.o thanks With the new lintian.d.o naming convention [1], this bug should be way better now, since now URLs are email based and way less characters that need escaping are present there. Instead of closing the bug however I'm retitling it, since the naming convention implemented by the PTS is not in sync with that implemented by lintian.d.o. According to Russ: > The list of characters that should be left unmodified are: > a-z A-Z 0-9 _ . @ = + - while in the PTS the code is using translate() which does not permit to express "replace all characters except ... with underscores".

Cool, I wasn't aware of that. So this is the way to go for the PTS: download daily the list of packages with errors/warnings, and generate links only for them.

I think it would make the most sense to show links to both pages if they both have contents, or to show a link only to the full page if there are no warnings or errors. You'd want to distinguish between the two links somehow to make it clear that one is only warnings and errors (and generally what people have to worry about), and the other shows the full report including things that aren't necessarily problems. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Well, to PTS end it is enough to have a file containing the needed information to decide whether or not the link should be put. If to you it's easy to generate a list of vulnerabilities affecting the various packages, with information whether they are resolved or not that's fine for the PTS. In addition, given that you are asking for adding the link, you're probably the most titled guys to know which kind of information are needed to decide whether or not to add the link :-) > > The PTS usually only provides some link when there's something > > intesresting to watch behind the link. > The drawback is that the link only appears after the next PTS update. > (We could AJAX to create the link. 8-P) Patches welcome :-P but anyhow that is totally unrelated with the point above, even with AJAX you would need to decide whether or not to add the link. You can only gain that you can do a query on a per-package resource to check whether it should be added (besides of course being more up to date, but that was not the topic of discussion here).

Are you sure this bug is actually in effect? Or, read my question as: how can I reproduce it? :-) You mention octave-plplot which is a binary package and not a source package, while the PTS is source package oriented. Indeed, if I go to http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/plplot.html I see as expected the info of plplot, including octave-plplot listed as one of its binary packages. Also, looking at the code dealing with removal, it seems to me that re-addition are properly handled (but of course I can have overlooked something). Is there any other *source* package you know that have been removed and re-added back, which is not shown properly in the PTS?

Attached there's a list, 106 out of 386 "weird sorted" news dirs are duplicated, the remainder are not.

Still, the non duplicates can be renamed so that they are properly sorted (for example renaming them from, say, "25.txt" to "TIMESTAMP.25.txt" where TIMESTAMP.txt would have led to a clash). What do you think of this solution? (I volunteer to write the batch script which does this fix.) It remains still open the point of whether clashes can happen again or not ... (see my previous post).

And indeed this diff explains the reason:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/srv/debian/pts/www/bin$ svn diff -r1281:1282
common.py|grep -C 2 raise
+targetfile = "%s/%s.txt" % (dir, info['timestamp'])
+if os.path.isfile(targetfile):
+raise("Aiee, already such message %s" % targetfile)
+f = open(targetfile, "w")
f.write(msg.as_string())
it is dated February 2006. So, starting from there on, duplicate news
are refused on the basis of its timestamp alone.
I will then get rid of duplicates and see what to do with the other
strange files ...
Cheers.

Jeroen, I've searched for the affected bug on master.debian.org. The result is attached, you can re-generate the list of affected packages running bin/find_weird_sorted_news.sh from /srv/packages.qa.debian.org/www on master.debian.org. The assumptions behind that is that the clash corresponds to file (mis-)named like "25.txt" in the news/ directory (while other files have timestamp-like) names. Is the assumption correct? Moreover, and that's the main point of this report, it seems that the last time the clash happened was January 2006, no other clashes in 2007 nor 2008. Is it possible that the issue has been solved elsewhere and the clash no longer happens? If so we can just run a script to check whether the affected files are duplicates or not, get rid of all the duplicates ... and hope nothing else remains in the bucket :-) Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- PhD in Computer Science ... now what?

I think in the beginning this was intentional (see the markup for the None string to convince yourself of this :-) ). However now it is probably pointless since the habit of Uploaders is well known. So I'm in favour of fixing this bug of yours. Or, at least, we should choose among: 1) decide that not having at least Uploader is bad, and mention this in the TODO/Problem section (but IIRC we already have something such for important packages, for some definition of "important") 2) deciding that it is not a PTS concern and then hide the field following the PTS mantra that only available information are shown, hence hiding empty Uploader fields Comments? -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- PhD in Computer Science ... now what?

Ok, here is a proposed (yet untested) fix:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/srv/debian/pts/www/bin$ svn diff common.py
Index: common.py

+++ common.py (working copy)

+targetfile = "%s/%s.%d.txt" % (dir, info['timestamp'], nonce)
f = open(targetfile, "w")
f.write(msg.as_string())
f.close()
It assumes however that all mails received in the very same second are
to be kept, is it a correct assumption?
Also, it sort strangely news received in the very same second, here is
an example of what I mean (ipython session):
In [18]: a=['1236.txt', '1235.txt', '1234.txt', '1235.1.txt', '1235.2.txt']
In [19]: a.sort()
In [20]: a.reverse()
In [21]: a
Out[21]: ['1236.txt', '1235.txt', '1235.2.txt', '1235.1.txt', '1234.txt']
This can be fixed in update_news.py using an ad-hoc sorting function,
but I don't think it's worth, after all those mail have all been
received in the very same second, whatever order would do IMO.
Let me know if you want me to commit this fix or not ...
Cheers.

Bug#469627: qa.debian.org: mention existence of help or gift tagged bugs on the PTS page

In the past implementing potentially useful stuff in the PTS first has been amazingly helpful in spreading new habits. For example the whole Vcs-* field affair started exactly from the PTS. Given that I like the gift idea and that I've added the implementation of the +help stuff on my TODO list sooner or later we might hand up having it in the PTS, ... or maybe Raphael will beat me at it :) However, there is a noteworthy difference between +help and +gift from the point of view of the PTS. The PTS is source package -oriented. According to this view it does make sense to highlight the fact that the package has some +help bug: if the reader is interested in the source package, it might be interested in helping out with it. It is very similar to what we already have for orphaned packages. The +gift tag on the contrary is not something which have to be accessed in a package-oriented way, but rather in an archive-oriented way. That is, the targets of the gift idea are people which just want to contribute, they do not necessarily want to contribute to a specific package. If they already know the package they want to contribute to, they can start looking at any bugs, not necessarily at the +gift. For this specific target (assuming I've understood correctly the gift idea), the only view which does make sense is an aggregate view of +gift bugs coming from several packages. So, in this respect, I'm not convinced that it does make sense to support +gift in the PTS ... Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- PhD in Computer Science ... now what?

FWIW, I do agree with Raphael on this and many thanks to Lucas for his patch implementing the request. As a package maintainer I welcome having handy access from the PTS to the patches other Debian derivative*s* are applying to packages of mine. In this respect the added link to Ubuntu patches and other info are useful to me [1] and I do not see the benefit of removing it from the PTS. Someone implemented it, it is useful, it should stay there, simple and easy. If you care about the "discrimination" we are doing wrt other distributions the solution is easy as well: go find their data sources and go provide patches for the PTS adding support for them. A potential problem there can be that we don't want to have tens of links to external distros, but this (once and if will become a problem) can be solved using drop down menus to choose the distribution first, and the other available info then.

Having such a format would enable cool stuff to be created quite easily (e.g. even using, say, Pipes), such as per-maintainer feed changes. Personally it is something I would like to have linked from the DDPO. It shouldn't be to hard to convert (or maybe pair) your format to RSS, with an appropriate XML encoding of its content, shout if you want to discuss a potential DTD. Maybe a bit harder can be to provide more lively updates, as if one then wants to use RSS as such, weekly updates are too coarse grained ... Many thanks for the idea!

Note that I was thinking at generating a big RSS (rotated as needed, assuming there exists a concept like that for RSS) of all d-d-changes.

I would go for the good old mantra of encoding all the available information, i.e. simply translating the stanza you already generated to XML. Given that RSS is often handy to be looked directly at from browsers, it is probably worth going for a microformat approach (http://microformats.org), i.e. just use XHTML as your XML language, and "encode" semantic information using CSS classes as needed.

retitle 370087 [pts] add short description tooltip over binary package names thanks Summarizing (and stating what I'm willing to implement :-)), the request it to add tooltips over package names listed in the "binary packages" section of the PTS. Each tooltip should contain the _short_ description of that binary package. Implementation can be done using pure HTML, no javascript/css needed. I'm against the proposal of adding an hackishly selected short description at the top of each PTS page. The reason is simply that we do not have at all in Debian any reasonable meaning for _source_ package description. Choosing one randomly among the available _binary_ package descriptions seems mostly nonsense to me. Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- PhD in Computer Science \ PostDoc @ Univ.

Hi Zach, sorry for the delay, actually no, you don't need to register anywhere, we use to say that in Debian "everybody is QA" and it happens to be true. The main coordination places are this list and the #debian-qa channel on irc.debian.org. For some tasks it does help to be a DD (which I don't know if it is your case or not), but there are *a lot* of other things that can be done, and which are really helpful, that do not even require that. The starting point I suggest you is http://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/ , which has a nice introduction about Debian QA, and also a list of things that need to be worked on.

[udd] injecting debtags information
[ Following a suggestion by Lucas, we are moving to the debian-qa mailing list the discussions about UDD, the Ultimate Debian Database; shout if you object to this choice. ] Any objection about injecting debtags information into UDD? It will be really helpful for making queries able to filter packages on the tags basis. Beside that, the obvious question is of course how to do that, AFAIK currently tags are not tied specifically to any particular version or suite of (binary) packages, so it would be enough to use as a key a table indexed by (binary) package names. That said, we have of course the choice between just having one tuple per package, with a field containing all associated tags (e.g., comma-separated), and having one tuple for each pair . I tend to prefer the latter, as we have already expressed relational algebra the different tags for each package, without needing to resort to sub-string machinery. To the debtags people: what would be a daily updated source of information we can download to have up to date debtags data? Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- PhD in Computer Science \ PostDoc @ Univ.

This is not a problem, we will need something to download routinely, if you update it less frequently it is not a big deal.

It looks like that http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/tags/tags-current.gz has the very same format of the first URL you mentioned, so maybe we can start injecting tags-current.gz and switch to the URL of the merged dataset as soon as it is available. Would it be OK with you? Any other drawback in polling against tags-current.gz rather than against tags from svn? Finally, my understanding is that the only tags coming from testing-security are those related to the security support of a given package, and that all other tags are coming from the debtags alioth project.
