Hi,

It's about showing patches in the whole distribution, but per-series presumably.
I think you would tend to want to look at a particular package, rather than the whole
list, but a list view that only listed packages with patches might be useful.

I think we would have something like

  /ubuntu/lucid/+source/gwibber/+patches

which would display something like

   Patch Age Some other stuff...
   01-fix-build.patch 5 weeks
   02-fix-translation-domain.patch 4 days

where each would be a link to the patch file.

This would be populated by looking at the source package as we build it (or in
a different job on the build farm after it is uploaded perhaps?), and figuring out the
individual patches (I think Scott has some code for this). It would then upload these
in to LP.

I'm not sure how this would fit for other distributions though.

Maybe this is overkill, but I think it is what Jorge is looking for with an overview of
all the patches we carry.

Thanks,

James
