Hello again,
I've just realized that this feature request for the BTS SOAP interface
could help solving not two (#257873 and #693291), but _three_ distinct
bugs of apt-listbugs (the third bug is #536613).
The fact is that the enhanced get_bugs() I would need would anyway have
to internally map binary packages and binary versions to source
packages and source versions.
During this process, it would anyway find any non-existing binary
packages among the provided arguments. If get_bugs() also returned a
list of non-existing binary packages, it would be a great way to solve
#536613.
I am therefore changing my feature request into the following one:
I would need to call get_bugs() so that it returned an array with
two elements. The first element should be an array containing
all the (unarchived) bug-numbers that apply to the specified binary
version of one of the mentioned binary packages and have one of
the mentioned severities. The second element should a possibly empty
array containing all non-existing binary packages (among the mentioned
ones).
Something like:
get_bugs('severity', ["critical", "grave"],
'package', ["pkg1/x.y-z", "pkg2", "pkg3/a.b.c-d"])
which would request the bugs that apply to binary version x.y-z of
binary package pkg1, the bugs that apply to any version of binary
package pkg2, and the bugs that apply to binary version a.b.c-d of
binary package pkg3, and would also return an array containing the
non-existing packages among {pkg1, pkg2, pkg3}.
I really hope that this may be implemented, since it would allow me to
significantly improve apt-listbugs.
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks for your time!
Bye.
