3. DarcsWatch could be integrated closer in the xmonad bug tracker. Of course, code.google.com will not be as easily hackable as a self-hosted roundup instance, but maybe some interaction is possible. Is there an API for that? Some features that are desirable are: * DarcsWatch should somehow be aware of patches submitted via code.google.com that were not sent to the mailing list.
It could be simple enough to scrape mails from codesite-noreply@google.com, grab the link to the issue number and patch filename, and then scrape that page for the last link ending in that name. http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2009-November/009218.html
Ex, to guess that the patch filename referred is actually: http://xmonad.googlecode.com/issues/attachment?aid=5885454491537368539&name=track-currently-processing-event.dpatch
I thought about this, but it seems quite hackish, so hopefully a more elegant solution can be found.
But perhaps the googlecode bugtracker can (or should?) be adjusted to send the attachments to the list, which means that darcswatch should pick them up without any further modifications.
That would be great.
* DarcsWatch could be able to amend the ticket with the patch application status. * DarcsWatch could close tickets if a patch bundle is applied – but what if the patch does not work, if there are multiple patches etc.? The Darcs team has clearer semantics there, as patches and issues are tracked separately on roundup (but can refer to each other).
It would be convenient to mark bugs as patch-pending, but it looks like a lot of effort (and does google supply a stable API for it?) for relatively little benefit. Closing the bugs definitely doesn't fit with how we run things currently, but it should be same effort to implement as marking bugs as patch-pending.
There actually is an API: http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/IssueTrackerAPI which could be used to add a tag "Patch-Applied" to the ticket. The API does for some reason not include access to the attachements :-( Greetings, Joachim -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner mail: mail@joachim-breitner.de | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Key: 4743206C JID: nomeata@joachim-breitner.de | http://www.joachim-breitner.de/ Debian Developer: nomeata@debian.org
