The build log scanner reports stale data for ncurses from the 20190803-1 version[1]. The problems reported there have been fixed[2] in the 20191019-1 upload, yet the tracker keeps complaining. Either the new ncurses version has not been scanned at all, despite having been uploaded 19 days ago, or the information has been discarded, perhaps because blhc produced no output at all for the new packages (as desired). 1. https://qa.debian.org/bls/packages/n/ncurses.html 2. https://salsa.debian.org/debian/ncurses/commit/b63259877ad51c393461e45597335f5c978ed9f4
hi Bernhard, qa folks, looking at #944620, can somebody please share specifics of where/how the build log scanner is deployed/scheduled, and whether its logs are available for investigation? https://qa.debian.org/bls links to package build logs, whereas I'm after the logs that are generated while scanning the build logs, e.g. to see how quickly a report is generated relative to build logs becoming available, and how often the scans fail (which would explain staleness in reports) thanks, Serafeim ps. please cc me on replies, I'm not subscribed in debian-qa@
bls is deployed in wuiet.d.o (aka buildd.d.o) directly under brlink's home directory. Since Bernhard is fairly inactive nowadays the whole thing bitrotted a bit, and since it was deployed so... "privately" (instead of, saying, using the ~qa user in wuiet - which does not exit, but it would be trivial to have it created by DSA) it also makes one just not want to even look at it.
thanks, that's very helpful! I'll discuss with DSA the best way forward.
