Hi,
Is there a possibility to run this bot / these checks locally or on other projects? I think this would be very useful. Currently it is necessary to (re-submit to the devel project and then to)[1] re-submit to Factory to see if the cryptic error messages are gone.

packagers,
A complete rewrite of the tool that runs as factory-repo-checker on OBS is scheduled for deployment on August 14th as the new user repo-checker. This new tool fixes a number of major shortcomings and bugs with the previous tool that result in errors detected that were previously not detected. As such simple version updates may be rejected until these issues are resolved.
Both to provide a grace period and tooling improvement going forward the tool will now regularly post comments on packages with issues in their corresponding devel project. The 112 comments went out Wednesday on a variety of packages.
Issues with any ring package will block an entire letter stagings just as a failing builds have previously. Due to the issues with the previous tool a number of problems currently exist with ring packages. In order to roll out the tool I started to fix the problems, but ended up finding too many so a whitelist will be used and relaxed as issues are fixed. See the Factory config [1] repo_checker-package-whitelist{,-x86_64,-i586} lines to see which packages are whitelisted and work to resolve those problems. The complete list of problems can be found in the repo_checker file [2]. If you help fix ring problems it is appreciated if you link to the requests in the tracking issue [3] so the whitelist can be relaxed as they are accepted.
Overall, the new tool is significantly simpler in terms of lines of code, code complexity, and workflow complexity. Also faster! See the initial rewrite pull request for more details [4].
Summary of changes/features:
- all architectures are checked (currently i586, x86_64) instead of just x86_64 - requests are checked in staging groups instead of devel projects - no more review spam during intermediary stages - properly handle ghc-* requests - cycle check based on entire group which properly catches problems - no longer a requires the latest version from devel - expect reviews not to be accepted until the entire group is built and passes - summary comments on staging projects to notify submitters of problems - new user repo-checker on requests - comments on packages in devel projects based on current Factory:standard
The new repo-checker is currently soft-enabled for Factory in that it will be checking all requests, but only commenting when it sees a problem and having no effect on reviews. On August 14th all new requests will require approval from the new repo-checker user on OBS.
An example of problems detected during the soft-enablement that the old repo checker passed over can be seen currently on Staging:B [5].
For a summary of planned improvements to the tool see the issues on github [5]. Report issues there using the title prefix 'repo_checker: '.
Enjoy!
