Subject: [reporting/harness]: allow re-checking packages

Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2012 12:01:53 +0100

Package: lintian
Severity: wishlist


I think it would be useful if harness had an "reschedule-all" option
that slowly re-runs already checked packages over several
days/incremental runs.  Either by limiting the time (e.g. spend 1-2
hours rechecking packages) or by package count (e.g. recheck 500
packages) or maybe by some third metric.

This would allow us to upgrade lintian on lintian.d.o, ask harness to
reschedule packages and still get daily updates.  In contrast to now
where lintian.d.o is "frozen" for 3-4 days while the full run completes.

In fact, I think our "current full run" would be better implemented as
the above.  I suspect piuparts have something similar (based on some of
its "state" graphs[1]).

Notice how the "red" (dependency-failed-testing) part is replaced by
"yellow" (waiting-for-dependency-to-be-tested).

Has been implemented since 2.5.21, closing now.
