This code is a quick hack that analyzes Debian sid piuparts_ packages that are in state-dependency-failed-testing_, and prints out information on the failed packages which are blocking their testing.

.. _piuparts: http://piuparts.debian.org/

.. _state-dependency-failed-testing: http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/state-dependency-failed-testing.html

The output consists of:

* the number of packages in state-failed-dependency-testing which have been traced to a state-failed-testing package

* the number of packages in state-failed-testing causing the dependencies

* the list of state-failed-testing packages sorted by impact, with:

 - the number of packages blocked by this package

 - the number of packages which are blocked only by this package

 - the number of packages left in state-failed-dependency-testing after this package and the ones above it pass

 - the total number of packages which depend on this package, directly or recursively

Example::

    # ./piublocker 

    dependency failed -  2047

    failed testing -  222

The cumulative effect of removing the top blocking failed packages on this date can be seen here (from an earlier run):

.. image:: piublocker/raw/master/images/Screenshot.png

This is a typical distribution of packages states in Debian sid piuparts. The packages in state-dependency-failed-testing are in dark red (from http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/)

.. image:: piublocker/raw/master/images/states.png

The application parses http://piuparts.debian.org/sid/state-dependency-failed-testing.html to gather package data. The information is stored locally in the file piudata.json, to speed up subsequent runs. Delete the file to cause the data to be downloaded again.

`BeautifulSoup `_ and apt-rdepends must be installed.

The number of packages counted in state-failed-dependency-testing is less than that reported by the web page, possibly because it only counts packages which trace directly to a failed-dependency-test package.

The code is not a model of cleanliness, or efficiency.
