a new version of the report:
Wow, this is very nice! It will be even nicer once we start having metadata about the patches themselves.
Yeah, gret job Rodrigo!
I was thinking of something ultra-simple... before the "---" in patches, put in this:
bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12345 upstream-bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23456 status: { suse-only | sent-upstream | already-upstream }
Then the plugin would read that info and get better statistics.
This seems like a great idea to me. The only other meta-data that I
would like to see is who authored the patch. I found it difficult as a
packager at times to decipher from the ChangeLog to whom I should
attribute a given patch. Invariably in the case where we don't succeed
in getting every patch upstream, it will no longer apply with the next
major version update. In some of these cases, where the level of
complexity is high, it is nice to defer to someone who has already waded
through the code once before.
