Hello, everyone. I have the pleasure to announce that a few improvements have been deployed by the Repository mirror & CI project today.
1. The mirror for 'gentoo' repository [1] now has a default 'stable' branch. It is updated automatically by the gentoo-ci checker, and therefore always contains the latest repository state that has been confirmed 'green' by CI. While this is far from perfect, it's the first step towards preventing major issues from being deployed on our users. If you are already using the mirror, you will need to either switch branch manually, or re-add it. 2. The repository QA report [2] has been extended with some repository statistics. In particular, the timestamp of the newest commit and the number of valid (that is, those not dying in global scope) ebuilds are reported. Additionally, the homepage link is now included as well. This enables the Overlays team members to easily check which repositories are unmaintained and/or empty, and handle the issues more efficiently. It can also be useful to users who want to figure out whether there's a point in using a particular repository. 3. I've tried to optimize the logic used to run QA checks on repositories, and I think I was able to even the load better. Additionally, I've repacked the git repositories to get rid of huge number of loose objects. As a result, CI now runs faster. The gentoo-ci runs are down from 10-12 minutes to 7-8 minutes, and pull requests from 16-18 minutes to 9-14 minutes. However, I don't have exact results yet as the server is still busy removing old files ;-). 4. Finally, the mirroring code has been updated to correctly handle git repositories for which 'master' is not the default branch. Enjoy!
