I think that we have a problem with the way we export data from automated tests. Consensus is (I think) that bugs should not be filed automatically, unless the person filing the bugs is reasonably sure of the validity of the bugs, the lack of duplicate bugs, etc. I agree with that. Maybe you should focus on providing the data in a machine-parseable format, and write a seperate tool that would allow to gather data from all the tests we are running (I can think of lintian and piuparts, at least), and display all the results on a nice web page, with all the cool features one can think of. So far, everybody has been reinventing the wheel, and that results in http://piuparts.cs.helsinki.fi/ and http://lintian.debian.org/. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
