I'm not sure I have time to take this, but glancing over it, I have a suggestion on how to further automate the release stuff. You can use Bodhi release date to determine the extant EPEL releases and the current Branched release. If you query https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/releases/ with content-type JSON, you get a bunch of data on releases (paginated, so either handle the pages or use https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/releases/?rows_per_page=500 instead). To get all current EPEL releases you'd do something like this: epels = {int(rel['version']) for rel in releases if rel['state'] == 'current' and rel['id_prefix'] == 'FEDORA-EPEL'} To find current Branched, you can do something like this: devrels = {int(rel['version']) for rel in releases if rel['state'] == 'pending' and rel['id_prefix'] == 'FEDORA'} if len(devrels) > 1: branched = min(devrels) else: branched = None that logic should be safe as long as we don't change the release process. There is always one "pending" Fedora release - Rawhide. If there's more than one, there will be two, and the other one will be Branched. -- Adam Williamson (he/him/his) Fedora QA Fedora Chat: @adamwill:fedora.im | Mastodon: @ad...@fosstodon.org https://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org 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@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
