Bug#690414: PTS: screenshots related improvements
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Believe it or not - I'm finally working on the web application behind screenshots.debian.net. Slight delay of one year or something. :) I had to fix a dependency module and was actually waiting for artistic help from the Ubuntu project but I still don't have a good template. So I'll hack something myself.

IMHO the PTS only works for specific packages and does not provide a generalized list. Of course it can be implemented in the PTS but screenshots.debian.net provides a list of packages with missing screenshots anyway. User-friendly version: http://screenshots.debian.net/packages/without_screenshots JSON version: http://screenshots.debian.net/json/packages-without-screenshots I could implement a certain URL returning information about screenshots for a certain source package if that helps. …Christoph -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlDDNKIACgkQCV53xXnMZYZ/0ACfalz80d3rQkRlZdLf+7iWx6u9 ABEAn0bKVLKzRg/Tk3t/TzRfJ/49D9IJ =GnWS -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qa-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Well, we don't want a "Please upload a screenshot" TODO item on the PTS pages of packages without any user interface or other screenshot-needing part. For example some libraries provide a UI, others don't. Font package screenshots are probably a good idea but packages containing music/audio don't need screenshots. We need screenshots for games but not really for game data packages. Screenshots for debug packages aren't needed. Screenshots for metapackages could be interesting depending on what they are. I think we need some heuristics for suggesting screenshot uploading; based on package names, contents, dependencies and debtags. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Currently the software mainly uses debtags as heuristics to determine if a package would be an interesting target for having screenshots assigned. I'm open to ideas. After all the web site will have to support other distributions (DEB or RPM) as well and I'm not sure whether they have something similar to debtags. …Christoph -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlDDZYAACgkQCV53xXnMZYZZMwCeIVbbEBu/tOVHfm2HVFSPTFlb 6rcAnREgCjflDx8Y8aSPHldWt7TzR1D1 =HT3q -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qa-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

That sounds like a good start, are you exporting this list? We can make adjustments to the heuristics as feedback comes in. I'm thinking for the PTS side, we should have a todo item like this: Your package probably meets the criteria for needing a screenshot, please upload one. With "criteria" being a link to the human-readable explanation of the heuristics and "upload" simply links source package page. > After all the web site will have to support other distributions (DEB > or RPM) as well and I'm not sure whether they have something similar > to debtags. Even if they don't using distromatch, those other distributions can map their packages to Debian packages and thus use debtags in some way. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
