Hi all,
This is a description for package report system, please help to review
and give your comments on this system. Thanks a lot!
The system link is below:
http://packages.yoctoproject.org/
Yocto package report system is a tool/website which could help people to check
the latest package information and track the latest/history version
information. Below is description of its functionalities.
1) List all packages information
It will list all packages latest information like version, upstream
version, license, maintainer and so on.
2) Support sort
We can sort packages by their name, license, maintainer and so on.
3) Support search package.
We can search package by its name, version, license, section, revision
or priority.
4) Track the upstream version change and send notification to mail list.
The report system will track the package upstream version change and
remind maintainers to upgrade them by send mail to mail list weekly.
It also lists all need to upgrade packages name on the webpage for easy
review.
However, there are certain recipes which need manual upstream version
check(currently the total number is about 60), their name also will be listed
on the webpage. We need to manual check these recipes periodically and change
their status in distro_tracking_fields.inc.
5) Generate report
We can get a report of all packages detail information in a csv
spreadsheet
6) Generate bar chart of upgrade history and manual check history
We can check the history informaiton through those bar chart, so we can
see the number of need to upgrade recipes or need to manual check recipes more
clearly during upgrade work.
7) History database access
We can access history database by their date so that we can track the
upgrade or manual check history data.
Now we want to do some enhancement for this system in 1.0.1 plan, so do you
have any comment or thought?
Any feedback is welcome :)
