apt-listbugs

Thursday

I didn't see Debian's apt-listbugs in raa or rubyforge so it was kinda
neat to find out it uses ruby. If you use Debian and Ruby, you might be
interested in taking a look at the code.

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/ap...

apt-listbugs is written and maintained by Masato Taruishi.

Description:

apt-listbugs is a tool which retrieves bug reports from the Debian Bug
Tracking System and lists them. Especially, it is intended to be invoked
before each upgrade/installation by apt in order to check whether the
upgrade/installation is safe.

Many developers and users prefer the unstable version of Debian for its
new features and packages. apt, the usual upgrade tool, can break your
system by installing a buggy package.

apt-listbugs lists critical bug reports from the Debian Bug Tracking
System. Run it before apt to see if an upgrade or installation is known
to be unsafe.

That is very cool.
