[Piuparts-devel] Bug#352940: Please support testing packages in changes files

[Andres Mejia]

tags 352940 + patch
thanks

Here's a patch that implements the feature for piuparts to scan packages from 
a changes file. I patched the docbook file as well.

The way I implemented this change was so piuparts would scan the packages of 
each individual changes file separately. There is an option however to allow 
piuparts to scan packages from all changes files together.

An unrelated change I made was with the panic() method. It takes an optional 
parameter to specify what exit status to use. I did this for my own testing. 
No other changes were needed throughout the program and I thought it might be 
useful later so I left it in there. Feel free exclude that change if you 
wish.

Also, I changed some methods from using 'args' to 'package_list'. This more 
accurately represents what is being passed into these methods now.

As a final note. I also attached the python script I used for helping me 
develop the new feature. Also, I've attached a modified form of the shell 
script I've sent earlier that makes use of the new feature. Feel free to use 
both however you wish.

Andres
