A couple thoughts... Just let me know if they are too crazy. 1. Could you enable the backend to ping devs/projects via email when a new release is available for their respective package(s)? Maybe make it optional for the dev/project to enroll? 2. What about a setting to allow the Python team to deprecate a particular interpreter then notify respective pkg owners that their ebuild needs updated? This would possibly workaround the issues mgorny brought up regarding package.deprecated and noise for CI checks. Also, not sure if this is best implemented somewhere else first (e.g. pkgcheck) then leveraged by your work. Just a few quick thoughts... -Aaron -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.

[gentoo-dev] Migration of Tyrian from Bootstrap to Foundation
Hi all, I want to propose the migration of Tyrian from Bootstrap[0] to Foundation[1]. Before I continue, some background information: Tyrian is the unified gentoo.org theme. It's currently based on Bootstrap, which in turn is a front-end framework. Bootstrap is especially famous for its ready to use components. That is, you can include Bootstrap and get started without much customization. Tyrian was originally based on Bootstrap v3. Bootstrap v4, however, turned out to become a major rewrite of the whole project. That is, it's not just Tyrian that has to be migrated to Bootstrap v4 but also all sites that are using Tyrian, as Bootstrap v4 is not backwards compatible. I've already ported Tyrian and some sites to Bootstrap v4 some time ago[2]. However, it turns out there are still some incompatibilities. They, in turn, are causing problems on Gentoo sites that are already using the new Tyrian version [3]. So the tl;dr is that we will still have to invest some time here to make everything work as before. That's why I would like to take the opportunity to propose to rather spend the time migrating to Foundation instead of fixing Bootstrap incompatibilities. Foundation is another popular front-end framework, which is also widely used (e.g. Adobe, Amazon, Cisco, Docker, Mozilla, University of Cambridge, or The Washington Post are using it, to name just a few). While Bootstrap is focused on providing the tools to getting started quickly without having to customize much, Foundation is all about customization. That is, it is providing the 'foundation' to build your customized theme based on your needs. While I also think the philosophy of Foundation comes closer to Gentoo's ideas, it's mainly the technical part that makes me suggest the migration. Foundation is made for customizing Tyrian to our needs, while Bootstrap was a great way to get started quickly back then. Finally, to be clear: I'm solely suggesting a migration of the framework that is used to customize Tyrian to our needs. I'm not suggesting any major change of the visual appearance in this mail. While we can discuss visual changes as well on this occasion, that's not intended to be part of this mail. The appearance can stay the same when using Foundation. Does anyone see any blockers here? If so, please let me know; otherwise, I would like to start the migration, to move this forward. -M [0] https://getbootstrap.com/ [1] https://get.foundation/ [2] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Website/Tyrian#Rollout_status contains the rollout status [3] Thanks to everyone who helped pointing out problems that occurred after using the new Tyrian version
[gentoo-dev] RFC: packages.gentoo.org Developer Mode
Hi, Some time ago, the idea of integrating packages.g.o with pkgcheck and repology.org came up. There have already been some discussions in bug 725702 and 725704 regarding this. The tl;dr is that the packages.g.o backend does now parse both the pkgcheck results as well as the repology.org data. Currently, it's possible to access them: - either by using the new GraphQL API [0] - or by using the 'developer mode' in the web interface You can enable the developer mode by clicking onto 'Switch to Developer Mode' in the footer [1]. Afterwards, you will see pkgcheck warnings in the version table as well as warnings in case a new version of a package is available according to repology.org (as, e.g. currently for x11-wm/xmonad-contrib). I think, more generally speaking, there is some information that is of interest for developers but might not be of interest for regular users. This leads to some questions: 1. Would you prefer this information to be displayed in packages.g.o using a 'developer mode' or would you prefer a separate application similar to the idea of project Grumpy? 2. Is there any further information apart from pkgcheck and repology that you would consider useful here for the development workflow? 3. What else would you like to see here? For instance, I could think of a configurable dashboard that shows all pkgcheck warnings, new versions and open pull requests for packages that a developer maintains. Would that be useful? What else could you think of? I look forward to your opinion. -M [0] you can use https://packages.gentoo.org/api/explore/ to get started [1] if that's not working, that's likely a caching issue, and the javascript assets have to be refreshed
[gentoo-dev] packages.gentoo.org GraphQL API
Hi all, Today I want to announce the new public GraphQL API for packages.g.o. While we already had some different REST endpoints in the past, these endpoints were neither documented nor specified. The behaviour of these endpoints even changed over time due to the lacking specification. Instead of adding further REST endpoints, we are now making the packages.g.o API available via GraphQL at: https://packages.gentoo.org/api/graphql/ General information about GraphQL can be found at [0]. You can interactively explore the API using the GraphiQL explorer at [1]. The explorer contains examples as well as documentation of the specification. This is the first version of the API so everyone is welcome to give it a try and give feedback in case anything is not working as expected or missing there. -M [0] https://graphql.org/ [1] https://packages.gentoo.org/api/explore/
