State of art 📋
- Flag OOD button
- pkgctl version check
- Package maintainers own personal solutions
Flag OOD button 🚨
- Manual (error prone)
- Can be used by anyone (prone to be used wrongly / abusively)
- Depending on packages popularity
- Does not provide a public place to discuss blocking points
pkgctl version check ✅
- Manual
- Not centralized
Personal solutions 🧑💻
- Not centralized
- Might indicate a lack of a centralized and automated solution on our side
Nvchecker PoC 📦
- Centralized solution
- Auto check for new upstream releases
- Auto open GitLab issues on new upstream releases
- Opt-in assignment via Bugbuddy
- Auto close GitLab issues when new upstream releases are pushed
Repository 🌐
OOD issues 🔄
Future work 👷
- Dynamically generate the packages list against the repo state
- Manage OOD status on ArchWeb
- Technical implementations (e.g. Dedicated box? Ways to reduce load?)
- Open Merge Requests instead of issues
- Integration with BuildBTW
Thanks 🙏
