Hi, first thing, I'm not yet a DD and new in this list. I'm interested in QA work, and want te become a DD, so after some private talk with M. Palmer, he gave me as an advice to work on the actual work on package to be orphaned / removed
I built this really small page : http://amaretto.inria.fr:8080/diogenes/site/qa_debian/ listing all _source_ package that are atm in sarge and not in sarge (with a little diff on the Sources.gz files of the two dists) for main its intent is to have a summary of package that have been tested, that are of release quality, that needs some work, that are orphaned, etc ... you can create new status for a package here : http://amaretto.inria.fr:8080/diogenes/site/qa_debian/StatusList/ and update packages states here : http://amaretto.inria.fr:8080/diogenes/site/qa_debian/NewPackageList/ (big page: about 1,2 Mb atm) I've not removed some package like most of gnome2 libs and stuff like that since i used scripts to feed the database, so every new source package name is here. If this tools pleases you, i can work a little on it to improve its functionnalities Note: this tool isn't intent to permit a global view of the actual work, it's only to keep an exhaustive track of the work wich has already been done. btw I subscribed today, and craeling the entire archive is really ... heavy work, so I don't want to do it if you think this was a silly tool. moreover, I'm interested to work on this (listing new package in testing, and verifiying if they are of release quality or not) best regards, -- Pierre Habouzit http://www.madism.org/
