Speed improvements in moving packages through bodhi
by Stewart Hardie
Hi there
Apologies if this is not the right place to post. If not, forwarding to the appropriate people would be useful.
As a Fedora end user, this is a suggestion about how package processing through bodhi could be improved.
The time taken for a package to enter the testing or stable repos is sometimes days after it has been submitted to that repo. Presumably signing is part of that delay. It would be worthwhile to consider if this part of the bodhi process could be made faster, or capped in time by general policy. This would be primarily and more importantly done for security updates.
Delays in packages entering repos after submission mean that feedback is missing on testing done by those who wait for the convenience and signing security of having the package being available in the testing repo. And it allows important updates to get into stable more rapidly, slicing off hours or days in the process. For security updates, this is only likely to be more important in the future.
As an explanation....
When bodhi says:
"This update has been submitted for testing by XXX."
then the following bodhi message must appear within 1 hour:
"This update has been pushed to testing."
Naturally a package must then wait for appropriate feedback and karma.........
But then, when bodhi says:
"This update has been submitted for stable by bodhi."
then the following bodhi message must appear within 1 hour:
"This update has been pushed to stable."
It may be that 1 hour is not currently feasible. If not, would 2, 6 or 12 hours be reasonable??
Ofcourse this only applies when the general process is running smoothly, not when servers and software are misbehaving.

sharkcz added a new comment to an issue you are following:
``
we need feedback/help from the mainframe eng-ops guys
it might be as simple as editing system.config file with different VLAN
00273 /* define vswitch */
00274 define vswitch vsw1 rdev 0900 ETHERNET VLAN 1
00275
but I wouldn't dare to change it myself without being sure.
