Package: qa.debian.org Severity: normal The scripts should be fixed to cope with "src:foo" as package assignment.
<buxy> dondelelcaro: wishlist, could the BTS refuse package names with ":" in it ? example: 504907 it ends up creation problems further down in automated scripts that rely on the fact that a package name can't have : in et in it <adsb> "src:foo" is somewhat of a special case I actually did that reassign on dondelelcaro's advice here last night... <dondelelcaro> buxy: src:foo is how the BTS is going to encode that a package is actually assigned to the source package foo <buxy> ok, so that's a new case to deal with <dondelelcaro> buxy: but yeah, my current development branch has code that disallows most cases of invalid package names buxy: that said, anything that is using data from the BTS shouldn't validate the data in the package field <dondelelcaro> (though feel free to validate data being sent to the BTS) <buxy> cool, I saw "severity:" and "version:" as package names already :) <dondelelcaro> yeah; those will all be disallowed <buxy> I'm not validating anything but http://qa.debian.org/data/ddpo/results/bugs.txt uses : as separator and it breaks when it gets one more unexpected separator <dondelelcaro> ah heh; yeah, : probably isn't a good choice for a separator tab or space or something is probably better (but probably too late for that now) -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.27-1-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qa-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
