We actually "know" this quite well, as long as people use metalinks (the default) at least: we know (or could know) when we publish the new metadata checksums after doing an updates-testing push, at which point the whole checksum system should ensure anyone using metalinks *will* get the new metadata. But the tricky part I think would be co-ordinating the "update has been pushed to updates-testing" information with the "metadata has been updated in mirrormanager" information. Right now I don't think there's actually a message for that at all, but I don't see any reason there *couldn't* be. But that message would likely just say "published updated metadata for repo X" - mirrormanager isn't in a position to know what's actually *changed* in the repo. There would need I think to be some kind of agent which sits around listening to both mirrormanager and bodhi messages and figuring out "these are the updates which actually went out in this push", and doing the Bugzilla comments. That would be inherently more complex than a simple "receive message, publish comment" setup as Bodhi does currently. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
