Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal Hi,
I'm moving here the discussion that started on #debian-qa. I wrote a CGI script¹ that exports lintian results per source package, as YAML. ¹ https://salsa.debian.org/qa/udd/-/blob/master/web/cgi-bin/lintian-britney.cgi?ref_type=heads http://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/lintian-britney.cgi?tags=unstripped-binary-or-object,source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number The output looks like: -------------------------------------------------->8 # package that has none of the tags listed a2jmidid/9-3.1: # architectures for which lintian was run architectures: amd64 arm64 armel armhf i386 mips64el ppc64el riscv64 s390x source tags: [...] # package with one of the tags listed a52dec/0.7.4-20: architectures: amd64 arm64 armel armhf i386 mips64el ppc64el riscv64 s390x source tags: - source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number [...] # package that failedGG latex-cjk-chinese-arphic/2.2: architectures: status: lintian failed -------------------------------------------------->8 The pseudo code to block packages would look like: 1. find stanza for source/version, if it cannot be found, we probably want to wait until the package is processed. 2. if it contains 'status'='lintian failed', either block the package, or ignore lintian alltogether 3. examine the architectures field. does it contain enough architectures, compared to those we want to migrate? (we might not want to wait for all architectures, but it's probably a good idea to wait for a few ...) 4. examine the list of tags The output could link to e.g. https://udd.debian.org/lintian/?a52dec (The default display only lists errors and warnings, but I suppose we are not going to block on anything else) Let me know if that works for you. I saw the discussion about the number of tag occurences for a given source package, that should be used to identify regressions. Tags are currently only listed once per source. It would be possible to add the number of occurences for each tag (with distinct "information"). Let me know. Lucas
