wnpp helper

[kapouer]

It would be nice to have an automated wnpp query / launcher to:

• fetch ITP #nnn if it exists (and populate debian/changelog)
• if no ITP with the same name exists, launch reportbug -b wnpp

Also checking RFS, RFP - and even existing debian packages - would help prevent mistakes and time loss.

I'm a bit reluctant about this..

Querying bts right now (on my machine) takes more time than I expected: $ time querybts -b wnpp real 1m39.618s user 1m57.028s sys 0m3.120s

while using this little script in python:

#!/usr/bin/python
import debianbts
wnpp_numbers = debianbts.get_bugs('package', 'wnpp')
print "Found %s bugs" % len(wnpp_numbers)
print "Querying for ITP with node*"
wnpp_complete = debianbts.get_status(wnpp_numbers)
for bug in wnpp_complete:
  try:
    if bug.subject.index("ITP") >= 0 and bug.subject.index("node") >= 0:
      print "[%s] - %s" % (bug.bug_num, bug.subject)
  except:
    continue

takes more or less the same time: real 1m35.587s user 1m7.788s sys 0m0.632s

With these results, I would prefer make a new command (maybe called "bts") which will query bts (via python) and will parse subjects looking for ITP, RFS, RFP (or whatever we need) rather than implements "bts" during the create statement.

Suggestion about this?

Postpone until the day wnpp queries are fast ?
