[Debtags-devel] Re: Recent progress

[Erich Schubert]

Hi,
New status update.
I've committed a "query" tool, which can be used to query the database.
Syntax is just "query tag1 tag2 tag3"

Example result (compare with web site):
time ./browse media::mail
Subgroups:
 role Role of the package in the system
 mail How the package is related to handling e-mail
 protocol Network protocol
 devel Software development / programming
 use Purpose of the package
Matching packages:
 archivemail archive and compress your old email
 barrendero delete messages on the spool dir depending on their age
 checkpw checks password which is stored in ~/Maildir/.password
[...]
./browse media::mail  0,02s user 0,01s system 100% cpu 0,031 total

So speed is really nice now.

The query tool does not yet:
- have a starting page (you need to give at least one tag)
- know what facets are, they will be handled just like tags

Otherwise, the result is similar (except for a few parameters) to this:
http://debian.vitavonni.de/packagebrowser/index.cgi?tags=3Dmedia::mail

So the big problem - again - is the incompleteness of tags.

Greetings,
Erich Schubert
