[arch-dev-public] testing status announcements table
hi devs, i just feel like bringing up an old idea about testing... we announce the happenings, which happen in testing in the news, in the mailinglists and maybe elsewhere (forums?). however, sometimes we do not know how long things need to reside there... and the overview is even sometimes for a dev lost, what is happening in testing. what i suggest is to maintain a small table... like the todo-table, but that is public. it should have the following contents: * name of task / name of single pkg * brief description about task / brief description on reason why pkg is in testing * possible effects * link to task in bugs.archlinux.org * date of entry in testing * condition of finishing testing (moving thigs out of testing) ** eventually deadline of testing / date for finishing the testing (if no reports come in) * responsible dev this would look like the following at the moment: * X.org 1.4.0 release * major upstream change in packages * impact on various xorg pkgs, breaking of drivers (wacom, ...), incompatibilities, instabilities (nvidia, ati), new drivers (video-intel) * 1234 (i do not remember the number, but there is one; i remember asking for one and that one was made *smile*) * 2007-08-xx * reported issues solved * Andreas * R 2.5.1-2 paths cleanup * path cleanup in the extra/science/r pkgs * possible impact on self-made CRAN pkgs * no bug associated (yet) * 2007-09-24 * 2007-10-07 - no issues * Damir ... this would help keeping an overview about the status of things in testing... we can even announce in advance a planned testing event. thoughts? - D -- .·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´ ° ° ° ° ° ° ><((((º> ° ° ° ° ° <º)))>< <º)))><

sorry for the unfortunate wording! i wanted to mention, that i want to maintain such a table - i would be also willing to set it up in php, if needed.
That sounds fine. Andy had the pkgdiff page out there too. Technically, to "fit the mold" and remove some admin strain from gerolde, we should do it in Django, BUT if you get the business logic down in PHP, the conversion and integration should be easy. If you want to do this, I have your back. It'd definitely be great to have an interface to this stuff. Even better, seeing as this is testing, to have other devs "sign off" - saying "this works for me". If you're planning on doing this, keep us updated. Thanks, Aaron

Even better, seeing as this is | testing, to have other devs "sign off" - saying "this works for | me". exactly my idea! is there an architecture paper of our databases on gerolde? can i have a table or two? what db's are we using? is there any documentation on it? how to query for packages, what are the fields named, things like this... i do not really want to reinvent the wheel ... but i can, if needed *smile* i can do it also without a db, but it would be much easier this way. | If you're planning on doing this, keep us updated. sure. i've added it to my todos. not shortterm, but maybe in a months time or so first progress may be seen, for sure. - D -- .·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´ ° ° ° ° ° ° ><((((º> ° ° ° ° ° <º)))>< <º)))><
