Hi folks! So a thing I kinda hate doing and hence don't do often enough is update the common bugs pages to mention when updates are available to fix the listed issues. So I wrote a script to help! You can find it in the fedora-qa git repository: https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/fedora-qa.git/tree/commonbugs-update it requires python-bugzilla, python-fedora and python-wikitcms. Please do be a bit careful when using it - read the diff it prints before making changes, and ideally also check mediawiki's history diff after editing. At its core what it's meant to do is this: spot when there's an update to fix an issue but the issue doesn't mention it, and edit the issue appropriately. As I wrote it, there turned out to be quite a bit more detail than that, and I even had to tweak the wiki templates a bit. So to explain some of the less-obvious bits: There's a big difference between the actions 'Ignore' and 'Skip'. 'Skip' just means 'don't do anything at all about this issue right now' - it results in no wiki edit. 'Ignore' means 'mark this issue such that future runs of this script will ignore it'; it adds a magic comment to the issue, and future runs of the script (by *anyone*, not just you) will not show that issue. So please be careful with how you wield Ignore. The action 'Testing' is for use when the update is in testing, the action 'Stable' is for use when the update is stable. 'Testing' uses the Common_bugs_update_testing template, 'Stable' uses the Common_bugs_update_released template and moves the issue to the 'Resolved issues' section. There are a couple of actions 'Testing no update' and 'Stable no update'. What these do is mark that there's an update for the issue, but it doesn't really *solve* the issue - it's meant for use with things like installer bugs, where we can ship an update but we can't fix the frozen images. These actions use new params I added to the wiki templates today. If you use the 'Stable no update' action the issue will *not* be moved to the 'Resolved issues' section by default. Any time you use one of the 'change' actions, you'll be offered the option to manually edit the text afterwards. If you say yes it'll be opened in an editor ($EDITOR is respected) and you can tweak it however you like. You'll notice the text display has a magic line at the top, that looks like this: #MOVETORESOLVED: True (or maybe False). That lets you change whether the issue will be moved to the 'Resolved issues' section or not. If the word 'True' or 'true' appears anywhere on that line, the issue will be moved; if not, it won't. The default value is set to True if you use the 'Stable' action, False in any other case. Don't trim trailing newlines in the editor, they're there for a reason. mediawiki whitespace handling is just the worst. :) I've used the tool to update the F21, F22 and F23 pages today, so there are no changes needed right now (it will display a few issues, those are ones I reckon should be 'skipped' but not 'ignored' for now), but we can use this to hopefully keep them up to date better in future. Note the tool won't work right on <F20 pages as they don't use the templates for referencing updates. The code is somewhat ugly for now, I might clean it up at some point, but I already spent ~1.5 days longer on this than I expected to :/ -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- docs mailing list docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/docs
