Hello, everyone. It is my pleasure to announce that Infra is ready to deploy NATTkA and will do so as soon as we're able to synchronize with stable-bot owner.
TL;DR: expect bot handling kwreq/streq to change, please report any bugs you notice, please start testing 'nattka apply' as a replacement for getatoms.py. What is NATTkA? =============== NATTkA is a rewrite of stable-bot, resulting from my frustration with unresolved issues, limitations and negligence to publish source code of stable-bot. Currently, it is a program with two commands: 'process-bugs' that replaces stable-bot itself, and 'apply' that replaces getatoms.py. It remains backwards compatible with stable-bot right now but I will start working on new features soonish, and then getatoms.py will probably be unable to work on bugs using them. stable-bot replacement ====================== The main differences that will be visible after the deployment are: - NATTkA will run on shorter schedule (right now we're testing every 4-8 minutes), so new bugs should be handled much faster. - old bugs will be rechecked periodically (right now: every 12 hours), so if package lists run out of date, you will know before slacking arch teams notice. - if bug specifies all keywords in the package list, it will be checked before arch teams are CC-ed, so you won't have to spam them with bugs that aren't ready. - if you file rekeywording request and need to add dependencies, you no longer have to worry about specifying exact keywords for all of them. Unlike stable-bot, NATTkA does not try to downgrade stable keywords to ~arch as part of keywording. NATTkA should yield the same results as stable-bot (except in the cases outlined above). However, the failure messages change, so expect one- time re-reporting of all sanity-check- bugs. There also might be bugs, so if results don't make sense, please ping me. In the new feature I'm planning to relax package list syntax for keywordreqs and add new shorthands for specifying keywords in order to make our lives easier. These will not be backwards compatible. getatoms.py replacement ======================= 'nattka apply' is quite fresh but it should be already equally functional to getatoms.py. I'd like to ask arch teams to start testing it ASAP, as using it (or well, updating the other tools) will be necessary to make use of new package list features. Short usage instructions follow. Docs provide a bit more details on all command-line options. 'nattka apply' applies keywords to the git repo checkout in the current directory and prints output telling you which packages had the keyword added. By default it works on the current ARCH (as determined from Portage config/profile). To apply keywords from specific bug: nattka apply 123456 To apply keywords from all bugs of specific category: nattka apply --keywordreq nattka apply --stablereq nattka apply --security To just print the list without modifying ebuilds: nattka apply -n ... Normally, NATTkA skips bugs that did not pass sanity-check or have unresolved deps. To change that: nattka apply --ignore-sanity-check ... nattka apply --ignore-dependencies ... To run for another arch: nattka apply -a arm64 ... To run for all arches CC-ed to the bugs: nattka apply -a '*' ... ALLARCHES is not currently respected but certainly will be in the future. If you need more features or notice any bugs, please ping me or file a bug at [1]. Enjoy! [1] https://github.com/mgorny/nattka/issues -- Best regards, Michał Górny
