[Reproducible-builds] [Popcon-developers] Bug#833695: popularity-contest: http://popcon.debian.org/all-popcon-results.txt.gz containso

[Chris Lamb]

> Please reassign to python-popcon.

Well, there are perhaps two bugs here, so simply reassigning won't be
sufficient:

Firstly, all-popcon-results.txt.gz contains invalid data. I agree that
the client should not be removed from testing but I could not find a
suitable pseudo-package for the popcon "web" service.

(The code that generates this file appears to be in the popularity-contest
source package, hence why I filed it here)

Where should this issue be raised? I don't care about the severity, more
that it gets fixed. How can I help? :)


Secondly, src:python-popcon assumes valid data. Perhaps. But it would
still have to raise an error if it could not parse the file so there's
not much it could reasonably do. It *could* print a nicer exception so
its easier to track down the problem, but that's purely aesthetic..
