Yeah. The super big one is that its queried from a git commit hook for all src.fedoraproject.org git commits. Right now if pdc is down, no one could commit anything. > 3. > > Metadata for Nightly Composes: Our Release Engineering and Fedora > Quality Assurance teams rely on PDC for metadata related to nightly > composes. > > > More info on the usage can be found here: > https://fedora-arc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pdc/users.html mass rebuild of modules can be dropped. ;) fedscm-admin is now the scm requests toddler.

Do note that bodhi still has a window after we are 'go' for a relase where it thinks it's released, but it's not yet.

So, I know this will work... but it means more closely tying ourselves to pagure-dist-git. ;( With modules going out of the picture, most branches just have the release cycle of the fedora or rhel release they are based on, so couldn't we just default that somewhere? There's also flatpaks, but I think we could also tie them to release eol's. So, is it possible to just not keep these things? > > A list of all identified uses of PDC API can be found in the original ARC > investigation: https://fedora-arc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pdc/users.html > > Projects not considered in the original arc investigation: > > MDapi > > Toddlers > > Toddlers took over the functionality of the fedscm-admin tool and it's more > or less a 1:1 rewrite of the tool, use cases should be the same as > fedscm-admin. yeah. > Remaining Endpoints: > > A few endpoints will remain unchanged: > > /rest_api/v1/compose-images/: Given that we primarily store JSON blobs > here, we have decided, based on discussions, to store the JSON data on a > network-accessible file server. What server? Where? I think the only thing that uses this is fedfind? I really suggest at the start of this work, we just plan out exactly what changes before doing anything. (ie, merge this exact PR that changes this). kevin
