About
This repo contains tools that assist with maintenance of the openSUSE Slowroll distribution
Why
To enable as much automation as we can for the openSUSE Slowroll distribution we need to collect data to asses risk of updates
e.g. the core-ness of a package increases risk of breaking other parts that depend on it. We can try to express that as a single float between 0 (leaf - nothing depends on it) and 1 (core - everything depends on it - e.g. systemd/glibc)
How
we collect buildinfo of 16k Factory packages that contain details on which dependencies are used during build and which subpackages are created. After collection, this data is post-processed into local JSON files.
https://www.zq1.de/~bernhard/linux/opensuse/slowroll/ has zstd-compressed data dumps that avoid a slow fetch via collectbuildinfo.
Usage
./collectbuildinfo
go run cmd/processbuildinfo.go
DEBUG=1 DRYRUN=0 make daily
DEBUG=1 make release # later after builds finished and QA succeeded
