I've been wondering if it would be possible to produce better structured rawhide report.
This would require potentially patches to repodiff ( yum-utils ) At least it should be possible to dump the output to a file then run scripts to recreate it..
Somebody involved in the rawhide report process might be able provide more info on how the rawhide report is generated.
Any way here's an example how I would like to see rawhide report looking like http://pastebin.org/38885 rather then the rawhide report we currently are receiving .
For example I don't see why we should need an need to have an specific/extra line for each new package ( "New package $PACKAGE" \n Description of package ) in the report instead of having
New package(s)
Package(a) - Description Package(b) - Description
And why we cant receive version updates like this..
Updated to new version
Package(a) - Version Package(b) - Version
The format of the output of repodiff was determined by how rawhide reports were before. Nothing else. If you wanted to be really impressive modify repodiff so it can take an optional genshi template for its output.
