Hi,

rmadison is supposed to be a remote madison aka. dak ls, but here's
another example of incorrect output:
| kibi@franck:~$ dak ls -b deb -s testing bash
| bash       | 4.3-11+b1     | testing    | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x

but the source is included nonetheless:
| kibi@arya:~$ \rmadison -b deb -s testing bash
|  bash | 4.3-11    | jessie | source
|  bash | 4.3-11+b1 | jessie | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x

man rmadison and a quick glance at the script suggest that support is
supposed to be there, so it might just be some bug on the UDD side; but
since that's what rmadison relies on, I'm reporting here for the time
being.

Mraw,
KiBi.

Indeed, it is.  UDD doesn't gather the Package-Type information.  I had
been considering switching the default URL to
https://api.ftp-master.debian.org/madison and this looks like another
reason to do that.

In the interim you can use either “rmadison -u
https://api.ftp-master.debian.org/madison …” or add

  RMADISON_URL_MAP_DEBIAN=https://api.ftp-master.debian.org/madison

to ~/.devscripts.

Thanks for the confirmation and the workaround; that'll probably be
useful to people who don't have this:
  alias rmadison='ssh release.debian.org dak ls'

;)

Before madison.cgi can be fixed, UDD needs to know the Package-Type
info.  Then madison.cgi can be updated to make the right query.  Cloning
this into two bugs to address that.

Although devscripts' rmadison won't be using madison.cgi by default
anymore, proper support for the various madison parameters would be
useful for those that are using the service.

Cheers,
