OK, here are some questions.
1) The copy of britney in merkel:/org/ftp.debian.org/ does not seem
to be synced regularly. Is there a place where one can see the
current code? It's not in the dak cvs (which appears to be
out-of-date wrt the merkel mirror anyway), and I tried poking
around on {cvs,svn,arch}.debian.org to no avail.
2) Any advice on how to test patches to ftp-master code before
submitting them? My own scripts I can dry-run by substituting a
dummy command for sendmail and run them in the very place where
they will eventually function. In contrast, construcing a test
mock-up of the ftp-master environment to do test runs of a patched
britney appears to be highly nontrivial. Does some automation for
this purpose exist? Or what do ftpmaster/release gurus do when you
change code?
3) Do you (or somebody in QA who reads this) happen to know how the
'keyword' under which the PTS forwards emails is transmitted? I
cannot find any code in katie that sets this. Does the PTS analyse
subject lines for fixed patterns?
(Currently I'm extrapolating from the documented
[EMAIL PROTECTED] syntax, but I'm not sure
that is the Right Thing to do).
I'm not sure this is the right list to ask on, what with this being
technical matters rather than a flamewar. :-) Feel free to move to
somewhere appropriate, cc'ing me.
