Maybe we need to mirror the ubuntu-patches mailing list archive. utnubu's
work, i guess. Smile

mirroring that list could be a work for utnubu, but a more general
solution would be to provide an archive of pts notifications. Don't know
if at large (i.e. for all keywords) or only for derivatives (a reason
for this could be that for all other keywords we actually can reproduce
the event who triggered the notification; I'm actually not sure if this
is the case or not).

The Ubuntu distribution will be the first to make use of this new feature.
Each time that a new package is uploaded to Ubuntu, the PTS will receive
the diff between the new version and the previous one. This way we'll
receive regularly small patches instead of having only a big monolithic
patch on http://patches.ubuntu.com/ (those will continue to be updated
anyway). Those mails will look like this:

Please tell me when they start doing this, so i'll stop scottwatcher.

We were just waiting on Raphael announcing the changes to the PTS before

we started sending, so as not to surprise anyone -- they are being sent
now (assuming everything works <g>)

You've a point, but since there are no other derivative doing the same
(they should), i think the mirror would be enough atm.

the PTS. Or for people who subscribe after some version has been
uploaded to ubuntu.

There's only the mailing list archive on the Ubuntu side for now.

I agree that the PTS should have a web archive for all the content that is
generated mainly for it and that is not simply relayed via it (like the
BTS mails).

Nobody has implemented that yet though, and it will also be quite
expensive on disk size... (it shouldn't be a big worry however given the
disk size that recent Debian servers tend to have)

Please don't go to the "quick & dirty" route. With the scale of the PTS
you would simply create unnecessary load for the mail processing that
master.debian.org really doesn't need.

The PTS scripts receive the mail directly, they can be patched to store a
copy for the web frontend. Someone just needs to do it prperly... (cf my
call for help at the of the announce Wink).

Changing keyword on all subscriptions
-------------------------------------

The control bot has been expanded to support new commands to add/remove
keyword on all subscriptions. People who are subscribed to packages with
the cvs keyword and which do not wish to receive the mails sent to the new
"derivatives" keyword can send one of those commands to
pts@qa.debian.org to deactivate this last keyword in all their
subscriptions:
keywordall - derivatives
keywordall my-own-email@example.com - derivatives

On the contrary people who want to have the "derivatives" keyword on all
their subscriptions can use one of those commands:
keywordall + derivatives
keywordall my-own-email@example.com + derivatives

This is so cool that I immediately went and did this...

.... only to find out that it did this for debian-installer only (for
which I'm subscribed to the 'cvs' keyword) rather than all my own
packages (as I'd expected).

Now of course I could go through all my packages and manually subscribe
to the derivatives keyword for each, but that's going to require me to
remember to set the derivatives keyword for any future package that I
start maintaining.

Would it be possible to implement something like a 'keywordmaint'
command to set the keyword subscriptions for any current and future
packages maintained by a given maintainer?

Is an archive of those mails available somewhere? This way the "small
patches" will be available even for packages of people not subscribed to
the PTS. Or for people who subscribe after some version has been
uploaded to ubuntu.

I think having those patches sorted by per-package
would be more usefull. Thus there could be a link
on the packages.qa.debian.org/source page to these
patches.

But this is a great start. Now we just need to
pressure Linspire, Xandros and friends to produce
similar feeds. (Or write a big-brother script to
monitor them ;)

The maintainer can thus subscribe to this specific keyword and be informed
when Ubuntu introduces changes to their Debian package.

Is there any documentation about which keywords the address in the
Maintainer field of a package is subscribed to by default? Is it the
same set that is described as "default" in
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch-resources.en.html#s-pkg-tracking-system,
in other words the maintainer has to explicitly subscribe to the
services upload-binary, cvs, ddtp and derivatives?

The keywords are actually more a filter, so if you have derivatives
on for an email and you subscribe with that email to a new package,
you'll get the derivatives mails.

This doesn't seem to answer Wouter question, or ... I'm misreading the
PTS documentation.

Each subscription subscribe you to a given (source) package. Keywords
are actually a filter, but filter notification for a given package.
Wouter was asking about a subscription that let you subscribe to all
packages of a given maintainer e-mail address (of course with
late-binding of the set of packages).

This is something I'm very interested to have as well, but I don't think
it is actually implemented.

Cheers.

No, you can have filters per email and filters per email/package
tuple to override the former.

I think you're referring to the following commands of the PTS email
interface:

keyword [<email>] {+|-|=} <list of keywords>
keyword <sourcepackage> [<email>] {+|-|=} <list of keywords>

You're right in stating that you can filter both per email and
email/package, but the subscriptions are per-package.

If I'm wrong, could you please point me to where is documented where I
can subscribe to all packages with "Maintainer: zack@debian.org" so that
when I upload a new package to the archive I will be subscribed to it
without having to chat again with the PTS? That's what was asked by
Wouter at the beginning of this thread, I believe.

Cheers.

Ah, then I misunderstood. However, what you are trying to do will
hopefully soon be unnecessary as there are plans to auto-subscribe
maintainers to the PTS and redirecting @packages.d.o mail there.
Raphael has more details, but some are here:

This was fixed by Raphaël earlier today; try again. It will now also
update the default list of keywords for packages you haven't specified
any keywords for when you subscribed. (For the details, look in
master:/org/packages*/db/*.db)
