Yeah the packages app is really useful and used by many, this is the

app is quite low. Following are some of the work we have in our Backlog :
• Packager UX improvement.
• FAS replacement.
• PDC replacement.
• OSBS support for aarch64.
• End to End testing and monitoring for the flatpak build pipeline.
• Package review process improvement.
• Fedora Infra technical debt.
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...
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", but at least having
the `dnf` command there is very useful to most users.
I'm not flask etc savvy enough to know how easy/hard it is to add these
bits to src.fp.o, but given that src.fp.o is basically a pagure
instance aimed at the development side of things, I expect it isn't the
easiest thing to do?
On the other hand, maybe stuff that src.fp.o already provides can be
removed from the packages app to reduce the maintenance burden
---things like "Changelog" "Sources"?
I totally understand how busy the CPE team is and unfortunately I'm not
in a position to help much with the infrastructure side of things either.
