[gentoo-dev] Automatic filing of stable requests

[gentoo-dev] Automatic filing of stable requests

I added support for filing stable requests directly from my stable
candidate RSS feed.
For those that don't read planet Gentoo the feed can be found here:
http://gentoo.petteriraty.eu/stable.rss

Now what do people think about extending metadata.xml so that you could
have these
bugs filed automatically when there are no open bugs? Something like a
<auto-stable-request enabled="true"/>
element with the DTD setting the default as true and you could just use
a <auto-stable-request /> shorthand.

Regards,
Petteri

I'm all for it. It would need to take version restrictions -- for 
example, I may be willing to have xorg-server 1.5.x go stable but not 
1.4.x.

good idea.

perhaps auto-stable should be the default (not needing the tag), only 
allowing things to be masked from it.

very good idea. It could also be expanded with a "reason" variable for
example, in case auto-stable-request is set to false, with values
reason=beta or reason=buggy

I'm not sure if it's really useful to have this as a default - for
example i keep nagios-3 packages intentionally ~arch for now. Tagging
them as "not ready for stabilization yet" would introduce something
between ~arch masked and package.mask - i don't think that's worth the
effort.

From both a maintainers and arch-developers view: I'd like to see
automatically generated stable requests, but I'd leave it up to the
maintainer/herd/team to add architectures after a quick review (also if
there's a auto-stable-request tag set in metadata!).

Well we have lots of clusters of packages that go stable in one sweep
like KDE and GNOME. We can't have this on by default for them as it
would file a bug for each package. We could however add the tag to
skel.metadata.xml at least.

So we would have <auto-stable-request add-arches="false" /> with it
defaulting to true.

Is it possible to specify delay when stabilization bug should be opened?
Some packages I want to go stable ASAP (I know... one month), but some I
would like to be go into stable after somewhat longer delay, e.g. for
major version bumps.

And I really want a way to mask certain package versions (like for
packages like rsyslog where 3.20.x is stable branch, 3.21.x is beta and
4.x is development)

Something like
  <auto-stable-request enabled="true" pver="=3.20*" />

Cheers,
Tiziano

There is already the restrict attribute on most other elements so we can
just use that one.

So let noone CC arch teams except maintainers. I've seen that go wrong
in the past. For arch team members that means thoroughly checking who
CC'd whom, but I guess that's a given. :)



Kind regards,
