Hi everyone,
The next pkgdb2 release (1.24) will be a pretty big releases, to give you an
idea this is its current changelog:
- Allow package admins to retire a package
- Anitya integration on the package's detail page
- Fix orphaning package having a group as PoC
- Add the possibility to request action from the pkgdb admins and releng.
These actions include:
- Request a new package to be added to pkgdb (after completed its review on
bugzilla)
- Request a new branch for an existing package
- When requesting a new branch, current package admins have 1 week to agree
or disagree with the request
- If they disagree the request is blocked (they have to specify a reason)
- After a week, or earlier if they agree, the request is passed onto the
pkgdb admins and releng for processing.
These new actions can be processed via pkgdb-admin which is shipped as part of
packagedb-cli (ie next to pkgdb-cli).
Since these changes might be pretty big and impact multiple person, I would like
to hear when people think it would be best to make the release.
Note: I will not do it today, but basically I could from tomorrow :)
Note2: As it will likely take a little time for people to get adjusted to the
new workflow (that needs to be documented & so on), there will likely be a time
for pkgdb admins and releng when they will have to check both bugzilla and
pkgdb.
Note3: As I would not be surprised that we run into some bugs and since freeze
is not that far either, the earlier the better :)
Thanks,
Pierre
PS: Also sent to the rel-eng list but please let's keep this on the infra list
