LeePenbb|hcb: amprolla already does this for basic cases (as covered by Unit193's script). Out of date packages are logged to http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/oldpackages.txt10:15
LeePenHowever, that doesn't cover the case when a new Debian version appears in -security of a package we have forked in the main parent suite.10:16
LeePenDealing with that in amprolla is non-trivial as amprolla processes suites in isolation and in parallel with multiprocessing.10:17
LeePenI couldn't find a good solution when I looked at it about a year ago.10:18
LeePenI will have another look once the current testing changes are deployed.10:18
LeePenHowever, my d1src-vcheck script, does pick up these sitiations. I just run it locally as a cron job and it shows when a src might need updating or adding to a new suite.10:20
Unit193Yeah like I mentioned, that's more for trivial overlay repos. :P10:21
LeePenJust to clarify, the issue amprolla currently misses is when the Debian version of a forked package *first* appears in -security.10:23
LeePenOnce we have a forked version in -security as well, everything works as expected.10:23
LeePenUnit193: Thanks. I am happy to include it in devscript-devuan if you like?10:24
LeePenI think it could do with native compressed file handling and a manpage.10:24
LeePenBrief manpage.10:25
LeePen;)10:25
onefangBrief like - "Use the source Luke!"10:26
Unit193That was more "if it's useful."10:36
LeePenUnit193: Yes, I am sure it is.10:54
bb|hcbLeePen: Ugh OK, I understand. Amprolla maintains a list of all forked packages anyways, I think that the proper solution is use that in all the parallel per suite workers to avoid the problem?13:31
