Yes, we do. The usual strategy for integrating stuff in the PTS is to link to the external resource, but *only* when the external resource has something to say about the package (so that you don't have to click on a link leading to useless "everything is ok" pages). So, once you have the external service available, please provide a machine parseable file mapping package (possibly source package) names to the summary of your testing framework for that package (3 warnings, 2 errors, ...) ... then bother the PTS maintainers with a wishlist bugreport :-) Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- PhD in Computer Science \ PostDoc @ Univ.
