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.
