Bug#709063: developer.php: Show buildd status

Hi,

as discussed on IRC: Support for actually displaying the buildd status
on developer.php.

There are up to two lines, one for unstable and one (possibly) for
experiemntal). If the package is in good shape on all arches (Installed
or Not-For-Us), a summary is displayed, otherwise all arches are shown.

Pabs suggested to sum up the individual states, but I prefer it this
way, as it allows to spot with one glance what arches are affected, and
if one arch is doing particularly bad.

Cronjob script untested, the rest can be seen in action on
http://qa.debian.org/~nomeata/developer.php?login=nomeata

Thanks for review (if wanted) and merging.

Greetings,
Joachim

I can see the need for such view, but somehow, it also makes it less
clear than the old version... since sid and exp look the same. Also, it
is
not true that "exp is always the same" since you could have a package
in
exp, and not in sid. So it makes it mandatory to look at the pointed
url
to understand the meaning.

IMHO, it would be "nicer" if buildd links could be colored when some
package
is failing to build on some arch. It would still be visually clear
which
suite is impacted, and adds the information about the buildd state.

The old version is just a static link to buildd, and no mention of exp
at all... or what view are you referring to?

In that case, there is a "-" in the first line:
http://qa.debian.org/~nomeata/developer.php?packages=haskell-blaze-svg

How so, there is only one link.

Also, there are quite a few package where there is one arch always in a
bad state (such as BD-Uninstallable); just exposing one bit of
information is not a lot, when we can expose much more.

please don't suggest that a buildd failure is an "error" which needs to
be fixed by showing an icon with such a connotation in DDPO.

BD-Uninstallable is a good example you mentioned. That could be
misleading in such that developers might blacklist these architectures
explicitly just to have a "clean" view in DDPO, contrary to best practices.

I find the new view visually distracting... Also, it makes the tables
quite a bit wider. :(

By the way, how about displaying the versions in Experimental as a second line
in Unstable, similar to the backports for Testing, Stable and Oldstable ? This
could save quite some horizontal space. This also an issue for me: my
threshold is whether I see the the Watch column or not.
