[Cooker] Cooker Condition proposal

2001-10-30 Thread Robert Fox

I propose a method by which those of us who use Cooker frequently can
tell if Cooker is installable or broken.

Maybe we could have a Red Yellow Green condition to show the
current status:

RED= Broken (pending updates, not installable)
YELLOW = Installable, but a few things not fully functional
GREEN  = Installable, most things work - maybe small bugs

This would be extremely helpful so some of us don't waste out time
trying to install a Cooker which is know to be broke or in transition.

Perhaps a simple text file with the condition could be placed in the
Cooker tree for us to check before downloading . . .

I just tried today's Cooker (30.10.01) with no luck . . . and this has
happened many times before . . .

Just an idea!

Thx,
R.Fox

Something like the Mozilla tinderbox would be really nice
(http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=SeaMonkey)

Especially if there was a way of showing what packages failed to build on
either x86 or PPC , who broke it, and when.

I've got some scripts running on my box rebuilding packages and sorting 
the buildoutputs. Check out:

http://cm61-10-20-87.hkcable.com.hk/build/cooker/i586/

I'd like to make a nice webinterface for it, keep history longer, put it 
in a database, make it a bit smarter, etc. Maybe an idea for a new 
project (something like debians buildd).

Right now it's only a shellscript...

This would be nice ;-)

Ditto.  I just tried to do a freshed install yesterday and the installer was
barfing in some area related to urpmi   I don't have the error in front
of me.  I will re-rsync and see if I can reproduce the error for the group.
