[opensuse-buildservice] Discussing notification mechanisms
Hi, as we all know, commit notifications are one of the biggest next steps which are needed to become productive. I think a CIA tracking system could be the right thing for us. Or at least it could serve as a model. http://cia.navi.cx/doc I personally have no experience with it. Does anyone? Or better ideas?

I think that having good rss channels for every package/project/category is enough - writing and irc bot or generating web page from rss is very easy. -- Regards ^^MAg^^ mailto:/jid: mag@entropy.be --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

But CIA gives us these things for free, for people who might want it. In addition, it offers more: the CIA tracker page has a "project page" for each project, like this one here for the Apache httpd repository: http://cia.navi.cx/stats/project/httpd Contrary to a simple RSS feed, it also has links to contributors, statistics, and maybe more.

... and IRC notifications (#opensuse-buildservice would make sense). We're happily using CIA for the Packman SVN repository since quite some time. cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <pascal.bleser@skynet.be> <guru@unixtech.be> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFqBr5r3NMWliFcXcRAvdLAKC46jPGY1QIrMrbYULOX1CB0YZyGQCfW+OF PjO82uGW2vk4ILfSK1Wu0qA= =hzF0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

The CIA tracker works quite fine, however I indeed think that RSS are enough and OK, specially 'cause are more manageable than tons of emails.. ;)

Are build failure notifications planned, too? If so, can CIA help with that? Michal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

I don't think so. CIA is really for commit notifications. As they're also collecting and aggregating commit statistics on the website, I doubt that you can just send "anything" to it. OTOH writing a custom IRC bot isn't that difficult, there are a few frameworks out there. SUSEhelp (used on #suse, #opensuse-de, ...) is Choob: http://choob.warwickcompsoc.co.uk/ And there are lots of frameworks in lots of different programming languages. Jabber could be an option as well, but we don't have a Jabber server (yet ?) although it's not necessarily needed. It's pretty easy to write Jabber bots or apps that send Jabber messages - -- I would recommend using the Smack API (Java): http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/smack/index.jsp But there are other APIs as well, in Python, Perl, ... I've used Smack to write a SVN commit notification bot for Jabber MUCs (group chats), damn easy with Smack. cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <pascal.bleser@skynet.be> <guru@unixtech.be> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFr1UTr3NMWliFcXcRAsmyAKCAWFCiCnFZKHL+VKa2sI8bZiEvyACgrAbv 90v7b88ArPeg5NFpOnCaFVE= =Wtpv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
