So we're less than a week away from F7, so why not completely change the
way updates are pushed? :)
We're going to use mash[0] to compose our updates repo instead of managing
it by hand. This removes the burden of multilib, repo-cleaning, and
dep closure checking from bodhi.
This means that we need to change the push process to be something like:
- Move all submitted builds from
dist-f7-updates-candidate to dist-f7-updates-testing in Koji
- Run mash
- Add/remove appropriate updates from updateinfo.xml and insert it
into all of the repodata
- Sync out to wallace, which will sync to the mirrors
In theory, this should do the trick.
The roadmap[1] to 1.0 should be fairly accurate now. So what we have
left, aside from the new push process mentioned above, is:
- ACLs. We need to make sure that all updates are submitted by the
appropriate {,co-}maintainers.
- Package signing stuff. Jesse pointed me to the sign_unsigned tool[2]
that we could potentially integrate with to help do this.
I won't be able to start hacking on this until monday, as I am graduating
tomorrow and then moving on Sunday, so any help would be appreciated :)
