Package: debbugs
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I think it would be useful to add an option to "get_bugs" (or just a
"get_bugs2"), so that it does not just return the bugnumbers but also
the output of get_status(bugnumber).
Imagine the following usecase: In reportbug-ng I'm currently getting all
my information via a normal URL-query like:
bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/reportbug-ng
this will return HTML code where I parse the bugnumbers, severities,
summaries, etc. This is ugly and error prone and SOAP is the answer --
but: with SOAP I have to do something like:
list = get_bugs("package", "gtk-qt-engine")
for elem in list:
get_status(elem)
if get_bugs returns 200 bugs, than I'd have to call get_status 200 times
which could take minutes since a single call usually takes a few seconds.
I really like the SOAP idea, but before it really becomes usefull for me
(and rng), I need something equivalent to the output of
bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/foopackage.
Cheers,
Bastian
PS: Why do I have to set the soapaction before a different call of
server.get_foo? Haven't I already set the namespace in the C'tor of the
SOAPProxy? This seems a bit strange to me.
