apt-get / aptitude test upgrades

28 July 2010 - 6:08pm — abate

After reading this interesting blog post from Petter Reinholdtsen, I've decided to repeat his experiments and save the results in with dudf-save . Using the Petter's script, I've created a lenny schroot, installed mancoosi-contest and the run apt-get and aptitide in simulation mode to create and upload the dudf to mancoosi.debian.net.

For example :

http://mancoosi.debian.net/dudf/file/?uid=adf7b774-9af8-11df-bc37-00163e46d37a is the dudf report for the upgrade of gnome and
[http://mancoosi.debian.net/dudf/file/?uid=8222799a-9af8-11df-8b50-00163e46d37a ] for the upgrade of kde

from lenny to squeeze (2010-07-28).

I'll repeat these tests from time to time. The idea would be to find upgrade problems, but in particular to compare apt-get / aptitude results with other solvers.
