I've been doing some work to convert some of our weekly email reports to
HTML form. I have not yet done the work to convert them to .cgi form;
consider these to be prototypes so that we can figure out if they are
useful. Currently I am generating them once a day.
They are located at http://people.freebsd.org/~linimon/studies/prs/.
In order, they are:
- New PRs in the last day, week, and month;
- PRs in the feedback state which may be stale;
- PRs recommended for committer evaluation by the bugbusting team;
- PRs sorted by tag (warning: quite large);
- PRs which may have already been commited.
All but the "new PRs" and "already been committed" reports alredady
exist in email form.
The "new PRs" reports are self-explanatory.
For "staleness" I am using "in feedback state for 2 months". The idea
is to try to find PRs in which we asked for feedback and never got any.
It will probably include false positives.
The "recommended" list is generated from a static file that I maintain,
and which people may add suggestions to. The idea is that we can flag
a small subset of PRs to point committers to.
The "sorted by tag" report is a proof-of-concept; it is clear to me that
without the ability to browse by single tag, the page is simply too large.
The "already been committed" report looks for the magic string "dfilter@
FreeBSD.org", which is the From address of email generated by our CVS
scripts if a reference to a PR is found in the commit message. In some
cases these PRs indicate that an MFC may be needed; in others, the MFC
may have already happened (or is not possible for some reason) and thus
the PR can be closed.
This is all work-in-progress, intended to generate discussion. Feedback
welcome.
