Thanks for pointing that out! Interestingly enough, @dann frazier
<mailto:[email protected]> and I were just recently considering
querying autopkgtest.ubuntu.com <http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com> as one
part of the update process for one of our internal dashboards, so this
is very relevant info for us. Is it safe to assume that this means it
will stay that way? (one query method we were considering is scraping
the HTML as long as the format does not change frequently, as this would
allow us to query for a single package as opposed to downloading the
entire multiple GB database and querying that instead)
I guess it could be not too hard for us to implement for example a
`?json` argument for those pages. At least for the
`/packages/<name>/<release>/<arch>` page, I could see a quick way to do
so, since we already compute everything in a single data structure to
fill up the table. The `/packages/<name>` page doesn't have this
computing yet, so it's a bit harder.
May I suggest that you fill a bug here [1] with some details on your
use-case and requirements, it would probably be easier to track down
this topic rather than through a mailing list thread :-)
Thanks
