Not all of the packages from the NEW queue are showing up in UDD's
tables.  This affects rmadison/madison.cgi's information with respect to
the affected packages.

As a simple example, pyjamas has been in NEW for a few months:

$ curl https://ftp-master.debian.org/new.822 2>/dev/null | grep-dctrl -FSource pyjamas
Source: pyjamas
Binary: pyjamas-pyjs, pyjamas-ui, pyjamas-gmap, pyjamas-canvas, pyjamas-doc, pyjamas, pyjamas-gchart
Version: 0.8.1
Architectures: source, all
Age: 3 months
Last-Modified: 1395106402
Queue: new

Closes: #710033

However it doesn't show up in UDD:

$ rmadison -u new pyjamas

Hi James,

thanks for your bug report.

That's true.  The ftpnew gatherer was written in the idea that only
"really" new packages are injected (not those with changed binaries for
instance).  Now we have a case were the source package name string
'pyjamas' is in UDD but the release of this entry is oldstable.  With
the current philosophy that's not really "new" since the package is
known in oldstable.

So the question is rather to define first, what we want to see in the
new_packages table and than adapt the importer code.  Until today I was
not aware that madison is using new_packages in UDD.  While I think it
is cool that it has gained some wider use we should obviously specify
what should be in the table to make it fit for this purpose since as I
tried to explain above some packages are left out *intentionally* for
the purpose the table was created for (= usage in Blends tasks pages
where this information would only add noise).

I think to make the importer flexible enough it would at least need
another column featuring a flag about the status of the package in new.

Feel free to propose patches to

     udd/ftpnew_gatherer.py

Kind regards and thanks for you bug report

     Andreas.

I think the table should reflect the data available on ftpmaster and if
Blends stuff needs a slightly different set of data then there should be
either a view or another table for the Blends stuff.

Hi Paul,

While I perfectly agree upon this principle you know that only those
things get implemented that are needed.  Any patch is welcome to gather
also additional stuff but I have things ranked way higher on my todo
list.

Kind regards

     Andreas.
