The PTS doesn't do that, it just downloads the data from the QA service: https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/qa/trunk/pts/www/bin/update_incoming.sh?view=markup#l198 https://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/udd-dehs https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/qa/trunk/cgi-bin/udd-dehs?view=markup The QA service pulls data from the watch table of the mole database. https://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/mole/watch/ https://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/mole/watch/.dump/watch After that I'm not sure how it works, please contact Bart Martens for more details, including the questions you asked. In addition the UDD service runs uscan too, more details about that are in bug #782677. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
