Hello, Late 8th report for the "FedMsg for Debian" project, the tardiness (and the fact that I haven't done computer-related for that matter) on Friday is because I had to take an sudden personal day for family reasons.
I am currently writing this report on my way to DebConf, so forgive me if I don't provide much links :-). First of all, I'm pleased to announce that all of my patches so far have been integrated upstream, thanks to the work of Ralph Bean. This includes the replay feature server and client side (with a bit of documentation, although I could have done better on that front), and the ability to fetch endpoints using SRV records. I've also worked a bit on debmessenger and fedmsg-meta-debian to improve the human readability. Whilst doing this I have noticed that there was a type of mails from the BTS that debmessenger didn't like at all, namely the "transcript" type, which is the answer to mails at [email protected]. The solution will be to parse the mail to get the most informations out of it, and dispatch it in several messages on the bus depending on how many packages are dealt with in the mail. I've also been able to assess how shitty the situation is regarding GPG bindings for Python. There are several implementations available, with apparently a preference for pygpgme, except that this package is totally undocumented and isn't pure Python but an extension. Combine the two and throw a FTBFS on top of that and you can understand why I'm actually wondering if it wouldn't be best to write my own set of bindings! I can't say I have plans for next week except attending DebConf. We'll probably assess the situation with Nicolas, which means I will be posting a followup to this report soon-ish. Cheers, Simon _______________________________________________ Soc-coordination mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/soc-coordination
