Package: qa.debian.org Severity: wishlist Hi,
A Debian Developer gave the following suggestion on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DCT (the homepage for Ubuntu's Debian Collaboration Team) : Something like the Debian QA Packages (developer.php) overview would be immensely useful. What versions of "my packages" are where in Ubuntu, who can see that the important bugfixes I just uploaded to Debian end up in Ubuntu. While I fully understand that some people will think that such a thing has nothing to do on a debian.org service, I think that this information should be integrated into the DDPO, because it's where it will be the most useful for Debian maintainers interested in the status of their packages in Ubuntu. Of course, it doesn't have to be enabled by default, thus limiting the flamewar potential of such a feature. After discussing this a bit with Christoph Berg, here is how, ideally, it would work : - It would list the version of packages in both Ubuntu Dapper (stable version) and Ubuntu Edgy (development version) (this will have to be updated every 6 month) - It would provide some links to the useful resources regarding the packages in the ubuntu world (DD might have problems understanding where to look to find some additional info). Sources.gz files can be rsynced from archive.ubuntu.com::ubuntu/dists/ You'd need to fetch them for both dapper and edgy, and for all four sections (main, restricted, universe, multiverse). The Ubuntu mirror push happens every hour.
