Hi Maciej,

It's quite common that one of maintainers sends e-mail to the mailing
list asking others to review / test a package, but gets no feedback.
I've got an idea that for preliminary reviews, a HTML or a text view
of a package could be useful. It would show things like pkginfo and
pkgmap, with the intention of reviewing the way one software project
is split into subpackages, where and what are the binaries, etc. The
idea is that it's much quicker to click a link and view a page than
dissect a file in a terminal session. Some maintainers wouldn't have
time to dissect packages by hand, but they could quickly review a HTML
report and offer feedback.
I've prepared a prototype view:
http://bender.opencsw.org/~maciej/pkg-review-prototype.html
Thoughts?
This looks very useful. I'll prepare support for
~/public_html
on the buildfarm to be accessed by
http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/~<user>
Some thoughts:
- it would be nice if the package would be unpacked to the directory in
addition to generating the html with the files in the package be
linked from the package for direct browser inspection
- it would be nice if the repository link from the pkginfo
OPENCSW_REPOSITORY:
https://gar.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gar/csw/mgar/pkg/mysql5/branches/mysql-5....@10727
would be a link also to directly jump to the GAR manifest
- if this goes into production I would like to add this as automatic
dissect when someone throws a package in experimental/ and the pages
would be linked from the package list at experimental.html
- why do you print "isalist"? This seems to be machine-local. This
should better
be taken once and hardcoded to allow dissecting any package on any
platform.
- I find the binaries_dump_info hard to check. Maybe a table is more
intuitive with
| runpath | sonames
| /opt/csw... | .../64 | libz.so.1 | ...
-------+-------------+--------+-----------+----
mysql | 1 | 2 | X |
resolve| 1 | 2 | | X
where the number would be the order. Just an idea, I don't have a
feeling on
how good it would be to grasp by a single view on the page.
Best regards
-- Dago
