We need to start with this as we only have our developer for 1 month.
He has already written some code for this project.
I see 3 main areas, some of these we have more done than others.
1.
a) Determine if there is a new errata
b) Download description of errata
c) Download .src.rpm
2. Build rpm out of .src.rpm
3.
a) Populate ftp/http areas with new errata
b) Send mail to mailing list containing description and rpms updated.
I think we both already have item 2. We currently do item 1 manually.
The populate part of item 3 we have automated along with the list of rpms
updated. We manually do the descriptions.
So our work will focus on item 1 parts a,b,c and item 3 part b.
Have you done any of this work yet?
Is there someother place where we should be having these discusions.
