Hello,
Hi,
On the PTS page for this package [1] there is a link called '(more)'
to the right of 'Buildd logs'. The link points to the following
site, which tells me that it can't find package rott_ in the
database.: http://experimental.debian.net/build.php?pkg=rott
because your package wasn't ever uploaded to experimental, or to
backports, hence no log in the experimental.ftbfs.de database.
Note that kfreebsd-* and hurd-i386 used to be referenced there as
well, and armel recently, and that they moved to debian-ports some
weeks (months already?) ago.
I guess that tracking the “this package is in that wanna-build
database would be a bit tedious”, and that it doesn't harm very much
to keep all links available. Maybe a “subtitle” might be added to
distinguish “unstable”, “experimental+bpo”, and “ports”, so that it
gets a bit more clear?
however, on my maintainer QA page [2] there is a similar link called
'Buildd' in the Buildd part of the table for the rott package. This
link points to the following site, which indeed lists all available
buildd logs for the rott package:
http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=rott
But only official ones, for unstable.
Additionally, on the QA page there is another link called 'More'
just beneath the 'Buildd' link. This does however not point to the
same site as the 'more' link from the PTS page.
I guess that part can be adjusted, as said above.
Instead it points to the following site, which contains some useful
information about the package status on the different architectures:
http://people.debian.org/~igloo/status.php?packages=rott
This page is very interesting and I suggest adding it to the PTS
page. But then, please do not call it 'more' again... ;)
Indeed, it's a quite good overview of build states.
Cheers,
