Hey, Fedora devs!
Ever
find yourself lost in the labyrinth of build logs, desperately seeking
the elusive culprit behind a failed build? Enter Log Detective – your
future personal AI guru dedicated to unravelling the mysteries of build
log failures within the RPM community.
What is Log Detective?
Log Detective will be
an AI tool for analyzing failed build logs in the RPM community. We are
currently in the early stage of development and plan to train the AI
using real-world data from maintainers, creating a specialized model for
error identification. Thus we created a data collection portal [1],
where you can contribute your failed build logs.
Why Log Detective?
Diving
into build logs feels like navigating a jungle of thousands of lines.
When a build fails, spotting the glitch easily turns into a
head-scratcher even for pros. "ERROR" in logs doesn't guarantee always a
quick fix, and these errors don't reveal themselves at the log's end.
Untangling this requires a keen understanding of packaging difficulties.
Help us shape the future of Log Detective!
We're reaching out to developers like you to contribute by uploading your recent failed build logs on our website [1] and explaining why the build failed.
Your input is crucial in building the dataset that will train Log
Detective's AI model. By participating, you're playing a key role in
creating a tool to streamline error resolution for the entire RPM
community. Join us in making Fedora even more powerful!
How to contribute data to Log Detective data collection website?
Visit
log-detective.com [1] and share your recent failed build. We can fetch
the logs from build systems like Copr [2], Koji [3], services like
Packit [4] or arbitrary URL. Highlight the lines in the log associated
with the failure and describe how it can be fixed. The more detailed,
the merrier for our final tool, and the more hints for you and other developers when your build fails in future.
Join the Log Detective!
Drop
by our GitHub repository [5] to share your ideas. Let's collaborate to build a
tool that changes the game for handling build log failures.
Log Detective isn't just a tool, it's your AI sidekick for defeating build log challenges. Be part of the revolution!
Cheers,
The Log Detective Crew
