Is there somewhere community members can read more on these tasks of the
CPE please?
For the packages app---if it's in maintenance mode, I guess that's OK
for the time being until something breaks.
There are two aspects of the packages app that aren't available on
src.fp.o that make it important for me:
- bugz.fp.o/packagename -> but I expect this can be aliased to a direct
bugzilla query type URL? "Open bugs" on the packages app heads to
bugzilla already:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&product...
The feature this doesn't get you is the handy 'open a new bug for this
package' button. Which again can be replicated as a direct Bugzilla
link, but...you need at least a thing to serve a page showing those two
links :)
There are DDG bangs for bugzilla by the way but they don't
search by
component (I'll suggest a new one soon): !rbugs, !rhbz
- "Install this package" -> this is critical. I was wondering if there
was a way to allow users to "click to install",
There is actually supposed to be a URI format that PackageKit-based
package managers should handle, IIRC, but that was a 2014-vintage thing
or something so no idea if it still works.
