What is the "best"? :)
I have o idea what Daniel had in mind, but I'd regard the screenshot
which has the same version and if this is not available the latest
available version as "the best".
I can add a version parameter to the /thumbnail requests that would give
you only a thumbnail for the exact version. Just keep in mind that by
default the web interface suggest the Sid package revision.
So this reasonable default as a fallback if the specified version
is not available fits my perception of the "best". It might be
reasonable to accept "Etch", "Lenny", etc. as "version" of a package
as well.
So I'd say in 99% of the cases you get nothing.
If there is *any* version of a screenshot I would prefer getting this
over nothing.
Do you think you can handle fetching the thumbnail of each
package the user clicks on?
I currently do. Or how do you mean?
Again I do not know what Daniel means but what I would need is
check = check_if_screenshot_is_available()
if check:
insert_link_to_thumbnail()
else:
create_link_to_enable_user_to_upload_screenshot()
So I would need an API whether there is a screenshot available or not.
It seems stupid to try to download a whole thumbnail to obtain this
information.
Kind regards
Andreas.
