Package: devscripts
Version: 2.9.25
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/tagpending
Hi,
tagpending is handy, but it can't cope with wnpp bugs:
> # Automatically generated email from bts, devscripts version 2.9.24
> package sparse
Ignoring bugs not assigned to: sparse
> tags 397780 + pending
Bug number 397780 belongs to package wnpp, skipping.
This looks like a hard nut to crack as tagpending does not have BTS
lookup capabilities. Here are some kludgy ways of dealing with this:
- check for a versin of the package available via APT with a *.debian.*
domain, if there's none, it's a NEW source package and the package
should be set to wnpp
- or check for the changelog message, if it's something like "initial
upload" or "first upload" or "close ITP", set package to wnpp
I'm not sure you really want to implement something that kludgy, the
correct way would be to query the BTS and check for the bug title +
package. Since tagpending is a shell script, I suspect this is not
easy. :-/
Perhaps failing in the above cases is enough, "E: no support for
closing wnpp bugs yet"?
I file this as minor because one gets the control transcript anyway.
Bye,
