Stewardship SIG: Initial report and plans for the future
Hi everybody,
It looks like the first round of orphans has been taken in by our SIG - this
seemed to be a good time to do inventory and think about how to proceed.
Status Report
-------------
First of all, I've written a small script [0] that produces a simple HTML page
of the current status of the stewardship-SIG packager group. Pull Requests to
improve the report are welcome.
The current status is available at [1]. I will try to update that page
regularly.
Dependency Checks
-----------------
Also, I've tried to run some repoqueries to determine which of our packages are
leaf packages that could be retired eventually. However, running repoqueries on
f29 against the rawhide repos crashed dnf for some reason ... so I can't
automate that easily, yet.
I've tried coming up with a repoquery call that lists all packages that
(Build)Require some given argument package, which we could then use to prune the
list of packages maintained by this SIG. Can somebody please sanity-check what I
did here [2] and here [3]? It would be good if we had a "correct" version of
those dependency checks. PRs to fix/improve those scripts are very welcome.
Pagure Project
--------------
Since I'm already talking about Pull Requests, I've created a pagure project [4]
for our group, where we can have a ticketing system (for example, where change
of ownership for packages or retirement of leaf packages can be tracked), and
a collection of shared scripts and tools which can automate some of our
recurring tasks. The three scripts I mentioned will be moved there, as well.
That's all for now.
