[opensuse-factory] new package twups for factory
Hi, since twups is a really useful tool for checking "the most stable" Tumbleweed snapshot, I packaged this script. It is an ease of use script for updating a Tumbleweed installation to the latest as "stable marked" snapshot according to Boombatower. The script can only adjust the repositories or can also starts the update. It uses tumbleweed-cli to do so and is basically a wrapper around it. twups is often advertised on reddit as a update vehicle for Tumbleweed users. I hope that the package can be moved into Factory. If not, feel free to let me know about it ;-) Best regards Stefan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Hi stefan, since a long time https://review.tumbleweed.boombatower.com/ is due tue a bug https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1157722 not able to show / count bugs for tw releases (only mails are working). so the ranking given there (in my understanding) is worthless. or has this changed in the near past? or will change in near future? or did your script go around this bug? then of course the script would be nice. simoN -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
Hi simon,
since a long time https://review.tumbleweed.boombatower.com/ is due tue a bug https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1157722 not able to show / count bugs for tw releases (only mails are working). so the ranking given there (in my understanding) is worthless.
I wasn't aware of this bug, thanks for sharing.
or has this changed in the near past? or will change in near future?
If I click on a snapshot score at I can indeed see that there is no access for the API and therefore bugs aren't counted. So nothing changed here as it seems. Mails are counted (as you already mentioned) and therefore impacting the score. Besides counting mails, https://review.tumbleweed.boombatower.com/ also considers some packages as "risky" for updating and remembering low scores for following updates. A more detailed explanation can be found at the official GitHub repository: https://github.com/boombatower/tumbleweed-review Many users in the www (including me) are happy with the results after using twups instead of always going with "zypper dup". However, if the score is considered to be useless without the "bugs score" then yes, using twups can also be considered useless as well.
or did your script go around this bug?
Sadly no, it doesn't. The script comes from upstream without any patches. Best regards Stefan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

if anybody here has a idea of fixing the bug, (or know anybody who is responible and have up to now not heard of the bug - and put him to the cc of bug) this would be great. i really like the scoring - and of course the collected tw bugs for one specific snapshoot at bombatower. it WAS perfect for quick overview/research if after a update something was not working correct. and of course for skipping problematic updates. is there a other source for a collection of tw bugs related and sorted for specific snapshoots? simoN -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
