PTS now sports DEHS information
During the last week I've started again doing some PTS hacking. Mostly it has been bug triaging and squashing ... I'll probably blog a summary of that sooner or later. In the meantime however an interesting mini-announcement is due: the PTS is now integrated with DEHS to help maintainers in knowing where a newer upstream version of their packages is available.
The integration is twofold:
-
if you are subscribed (via the PTS mail interface) to the "summary" keyword for a given package you will be notified of the availability of newer upstream versions. Kudos to Raphael Geissert for the work on the DEHS side of this
-
in the PTS page related to a given source package you can now see a TODO item about the need to package a newer upstream version and a problem item if the last uscan attempt on your package failed
There is an entry about that in the forthcoming DeveloperNews, it will eventually flow to d-d-a.
