https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=283501 Summary: Mail notification when patches are available Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 4plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: kkaempf@novell.com ReportedBy: suse-beta@cboltz.de QAContact: kkaempf@novell.com Right now, openSUSE misses a tool that sends a notification mail to root if patches are available. (Not really needed on desktop systems, there's opensuse-updater - but it would be very helpful on servers.) You might be interested in http://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=patch2mail&project=home%3Acboltz This package contains a small XSLT file that converts the zypp-checkpatches-wrapper output to text and a small wrapper script that sends a mail to root if a patch is available. IMHO it would be a good addition for openSUSE 10.3 ;-) License, as also stated in the XSLT file: GPL v2 or, at your choice, any later version. BTW: I'm already using it on several 10.2 servers and consider it bug-free :-) Oh, and the name "patch2mail" isn't set in stone. If you have a better idea, I don't have a problem with renaming it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

(Sorry, I don't have 10.3 alpha installed currently.) Counter-question: Did the output format of zypp-checkpatches-wrapper change? If it is still the same, it should work ;-) Wait - I just checked http://en.opensuse.org/Standards/Zypp_Updates_Status_Xml and found that the <update> tag has some additional attributes. These will be ignored (aka "not displayed"), but they shouldn't cause problems. BTW: The wiki lists both versions (from 10.2 and 10.3) as <update-status version="0.4">. Since some attributes were added, the version should be increased. (Or fix the wiki page if the error is only there.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I suggest to keep this in build service for 10.3, as the situation around the update-status scripts is flaky.

Can you define "flaky", please? (Read: What's the problem?)

...

Christian, is this OK for you?

I can't (and won't) force you to include it in the distribution even if I think it would be useful. And I won't be frustrated if you decide not to include it in 10.3. ;-) In short: your decision. However, I'd like to know the reasons why you decided [not] to include it in the distribution. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

FYI: I had to update the xslt and script because zypp-checkpatches-wrapper returns also packages in 10.3. The updated package is in the buildservice, with a version switch in the specfile that decides if the old or new xslt file is installed/packaged. Also note that zypp-checkpatches-wrapper in 10.3 leaves out some sections: - <update-summary> - this means there's no summary line anymore - <update-sources> - was a nice pointer if no update source was defined -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Additionally, we are working on a complete specification for zypper's xml in/out and on changing the zypper list-updates command so that it lists updates of all resolvable kinds by default (with an option to restrict the kind with --type), so the zypp-checkpatches may be eventually dropped then and the script adapted. I suggest to put it into a 'tools' directory in the source root. BTW: how would zypper's depenencies change? Would it recommend or suggest the libxslt for xsltproc? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
