As many already know, I’m a Fedora contributor (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Jibecfed).
I asked Pingou (Pagure’s creator and long term infrastructure actor) to meet us at Fosdem, mainly for him to share it’s knowledge about tools for Linux distribution to see if one of them can be some use for our great aventure.
I’m mainly thinking about:
- release monitoring - track upstream release and open bug requests: http://release-monitoring.org
- bodhi - packager submit a package for user to say if it works: http://bodhi.fedoraproject.org
In bonus, I also think we should move to Pagure someday, but this is another subjet, our git plateform works fine, the only issue is it uses github, which is a centralization issue.
But I assume we can also learn a lot from Fedora about how to improve our package source management, signing, etc.
I’ll be please to have some people of infra, dev and apps groups here to exchange with him.
Would it be possible for some of you?
and key contributors expressed on XMPP an interest on the subject, but later in the year. Recent server issues gave everyone too much infrastructure works, need to focus on something else
