Some of the packages shown on the py27 list I had LONG forgotten that I maintained: I'll try and get to fixing them now. I did q-text-as-data this week, because I actually needed it for a quick project and I haven't used it since I changed my default python away from py27 last month. > Just another red herring... I'm mostly speaking to the QA team here, and Python team indirectly: Indirectly because the Python team is one of the few teams to step up and provide QA checks outside of the QA team directly. This thread however has shown that output of those checks however needs to become easier to consume. TL;DR: Please make it easier to search on the QA reports site for issues, and only show things directly relevant to the search. A long time ago, there was blizzy's site that listed packages that were stabilization candidates, and you could filter by developer. It really helped making it easier to detect and progress. At a bare minimum, having an on-site way that already expands the data and makes it searchable by developer. Have files like https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/gpyutils/py2.txt directly loaded into qa-reports and expanded out (which is cachable) and then let devs search w/ their browser. cat/package:slot (reason) (all-direct-maintainers),(expanded-projects) get-git-file.sh tries very hard to get there for the gentoo-ci output, needs performance and usability improvements, but it's vastly better than the py2.txt file already. Some issues: - Make it more visible! Right now you have to have a link to it from somewhere else, and it doesn't accept a branch name (https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/gentoo-ci/HEAD/output.html returns 404) - Why does it take 15 seconds to load? - Add filter by developers (by direct maintainer OR membership in alias) - Add filter by package/cat - Add filter by check name - Machine-readable format should be the same data as human-readable (I can't just take the .xml and grep it, it doesn't have maintainers at all) > >> See above.

Can we have that graphic in a searchable text format? <3. -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Dev, Infra Lead, Foundation Treasurer E-Mail : robb...@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11ACBA4F 4778E3F6 E4EDF38E B27B944E 34884E85 GnuPG FP : 7D0B3CEB E9B85B1F 825BCECF EE05E6F6 A48F6136
