(Get the code!)
Hi Martin,
Yes, it is in transition in that we are still planning to have the expander as you suggested (and as in the mockup at https:/
Note, the link directly above to "View package details" (the 'developer' view) shows you all five failed updates with much more information at:
https:/
And also, yes, the portlet looks unhelpful in this case because the last five updates all failed - but it is reflecting the situation.
So regarding linking to a failed build - it would be possible, but I'm not sure that it would be helpful currently. As you'll see on the +packages page, one update failed in two archs (amb64 and i386). The portlet is summarising this simply as Failed to build, and could link to the first failed build quite easily, but I think a better solution would be to link to a page that shows all builds for that version of that source package - which we can't currently do, or, even better, link the source package publishing in the PPA - but again, we don't currently have a traversal for individual source packages (they are displayed in the table on the +packages traversal). I think the latter option would be great, but will wait to hear from you and the other soyuz guys.
That said, I thought this portlet was to provide a snapshot of the latest updates/activity primarily for users or potential users of this ppa to gauge the activity (including the drop-down changelog entries you suggested) - developers can always see much more detailed info on the +packages traversal above. So I'm not sure whether this bug itself is a big issue or whether the issue is really that it's non-obvious that this 'developer' information is available via the 'View package details' link.
