Meeting summary

  1. Introduction (jflory7, 13:33:43)
    1. Talking about Pagure, open source git forge (jflory7, 13:33:54)

  2. Background (jflory7, 13:34:00)
    1. Fork, pull request, three repositories per project (sources, pull requests, tickets) (jflory7, 13:34:21)
    2. New UI, new architecture, and lots of new features with recent growths (jflory7, 13:35:06)

  3. Architecture (jflory7, 13:36:21)
    1. Diagram on-screen of how all of Pagure architecture fits together (see slides / video feed later) (jflory7, 13:36:53)
    2. EventSource server: If two people working on ticket / PR, one is making comment, new comment magically appears on other user's page (jflory7, 13:38:20)
    3. Gitolite has always been a part of the project for managing user git repos and projects (jflory7, 13:39:56)

  4. Features (jflory7, 13:39:59)
    1. Doc hosting / repos (jflory7, 13:40:03)
    2. To generate docs, you push source to the docs repo, view page, and updates quickly and instantly (jflory7, 13:41:59)
    3. https://docs.pagure.org/pagure/ (jflory7, 13:42:16)
    4. === Watch project (Gaurav Kumar) === (jflory7, 13:42:55)
    5. Watch a project, get notifications as if you had commit rights (except on priv. tickets) (jflory7, 13:43:22)
    6. === Roadmap === (jflory7, 13:43:55)
    7. Migrating Trac features to Pagure was a major focus, like roadmaps (jflory7, 13:44:31)
    8. === Customized PR page === (jflory7, 13:45:57)
    9. You can customize the information displayed in pull requests (jflory7, 13:46:49)
    10. Includes what branch and repo pull requests go into, add a note about contributing (e.g. "how to test your changes before submitting") (jflory7, 13:47:22)
    11. === Issue templates === (jflory7, 13:48:10)
    12. Different issue templates for different ticket types (jflory7, 13:49:24)
    13. === Diff between x commits (Oliver Guitierrez) === (jflory7, 13:49:39)
    14. https://pagure.io/pagure/c/5803a79..3c85bbc (jflory7, 13:50:08)
    15. Q: "Can we compare against dates? e.g. Jan 1 and Mar 30?" (jflory7, 13:50:36)
    16. A: Currently not, only two commits. Technically possible, no reason why not. Merge commits could affect whether this is accurate or not as well, e.g. if changes were made before date, but were merged in during that timeframe (jflory7, 13:52:07)
    17. === Take issue (Ryan Lerch) === (jflory7, 13:52:43)
    18. Before, if you wanted to take an issue, you needed to edit metadata, find your username, save metadata (jflory7, 13:53:11)
    19. Now, you click the button in the issue and you will auto-assign it to yourself. No refresh necessary (jflory7, 13:53:28)
    20. Q: "Right now, if you have page open for a long time, will it work?" (jflory7, 13:53:47)
    21. A: Will work because connection never closes. Problem is that some endpoints is over cross-site scripting, other concerns as well were considered too. (jflory7, 13:54:50)
    22. === Live completion (Eric Barbour) === (jflory7, 13:55:01)
    23. Auto-completion for tagging username or IDs for tickets / PRs, e.g. @jflory7 or #17 (jflory7, 13:55:27)
    24. === README file at creation (Ryan Lerch) === (jflory7, 13:56:08)
    25. Most people used to git, not a problem, but more in mind for new users (jflory7, 13:56:18)
    26. === Fake namespace === (jflory7, 13:57:00)
    27. Want to have Pagure as front-end for dist-git (jflory7, 13:57:19)
    28. Run x instances of Pagure for x instances of pkgdb, not effective solution when you can just run one. Won't be able to search between Pagures. (jflory7, 13:58:16)
    29. Adding namespacing would break all previous projects and change all URLs for all projects (jflory7, 13:58:43)
    30. Solution? Adding one slash to the end of a project configuration (jflory7, 13:59:48)
    31. === New hooks === (jflory7, 14:02:54)
    32. ReadTheDoc hook: Push to PAgure, update ReadTheDocs (jflory7, 14:03:14)
    33. Block un-signed commits: Blocks PRs from being merged if they are unsigned with GPG (jflory7, 14:03:37)
    34. Block non-fastforward commits: If you want to keep the log clean, keeps merge commits out and only relevant commits (can also specify which branch to have this apply to, e.g. `master`) (jflory7, 14:04:26)
    35. === Better Pagure hook === (jflory7, 14:04:32)
    36. Close ticket / PR via commit message (e.g. `git commit -s "close issue #10 close pull request #6"`) (jflory7, 14:05:11)

  5. Future (jflory7, 14:05:42)
    1. === Private repository (Farhaan) === (jflory7, 14:05:55)
    2. === CI integration (Farhaan) === (jflory7, 14:07:11)
    3. Pull requests can have flags to automatically build projects on other services, e.g. Jenkins (jflory7, 14:07:28)
    4. Aimed for next release (jflory7, 14:07:32)
    5. === Front-end for pkgs.fp.o (Vivek Anand) === (jflory7, 14:08:04)
    6. http://pkgs.stg.fedoraproject.org/pagure/ (jflory7, 14:10:19)
    7. Work in progress, but implementation is public, in staging (jflory7, 14:10:22)
    8. Q: "Can I do stuff with this or will it break things?" (jflory7, 14:10:24)
    9. A: Shouldn't break anything, but if it does, we need to look into it! (jflory7, 14:10:26)
    10. === Mirror sources === (jflory7, 14:11:41)
    11. Designed to be made so you can move things from Pagure instance to Pagure instance (jflory7, 14:11:52)
    12. Maybe you have a private Pagure instance and want everyone to be on there, should be able to port all packages over to the other instance (jflory7, 14:12:26)
    13. When you push to Pagure, it will do a git push to another git server (jflory7, 14:12:43)

  6. Community (jflory7, 14:13:09)
    1. 56 contributors, 33 contributors at 1.0, 2 GSoC students this year (Vivek Anand & Farhaan Bukhsh), 2 Red Hat interns (Eric Barbour and Simon) (jflory7, 14:13:51)
    2. Top 10 contributors: pingou, ryanlerch, farhaanbukhsh, Johan, Clement, Vivek, Farhaan, Sayan, Lubomír, puiterwijk (jflory7, 14:14:50)
    3. Being packaged in Debian (jflory7, 14:16:34)
    4. Used outside our community (jflory7, 14:16:37)
    5. https://git.48.io (jflory7, 14:16:41)
    6. https://git.pignus.computer (jflory7, 14:16:44)
    7. Evaluated by two start-ups (and a team at RackSpace!) (jflory7, 14:16:53)

  7. Questions (jflory7, 14:17:36)
    1. Q: "When is dist-git for Fedora going to be in prod?" - mattdm (jflory7, 14:17:57)
    2. A: As soon as we support it! It just reached staging, not entirely deployed (jflory7, 14:19:23)
    3. Q: "Is it designed in a way to work around problem by packaging dist-git into pagure.io?" - mhroncok (jflory7, 14:21:58)
    4. A: Leverage pagure.io for pkg apps and relationship between fork and where it's coming from (jflory7, 14:22:09)
