New bodhi release in production

Luke Macken[1] on Thu Aug 12 21:57:28 UTC 2010 announced[2],

"A new version of bodhi has just hit production. This release contains a number of bugfixes and improvements, along with some important process changes. 

     [3]
ChangeLog
  • Package update acceptance criteria compliance [4]
      - Disable direct-to-stable pushes([5])

      - Minimum time-in-testing requirements

          - Every day bodhi will look for updates that have been in testing for N days (fedora: N=7, epel: N=14), and will add a comment notifying the maintainer that the update is now able to be pushed to stable.

          - When someone tries to push an update to stable, bodhi will look to see if it has the appropriate karma, or if it has been in testing for more than N days.
  • Critical path update changes
  - Hide obsolete updates in our critpath view([6])

  - Disabled strict critical path procedures for EPEL
      - EPEL is back to the same process that it has always had

  - Add a new nagmail message for unapproved critical path updates
  • RSS feed & grid of unapproved critical path updates
  • [7]
  • [8]
  • RSS feed & grid of user-specific comments([9])
    [10]
  • [11]
  • Package-specific RSS feeds of updates([12])
    [13]
  • Add more links to the package-specific page
      [14]
  • Show 7 days worth of entries in our RSS feeds, as opposed to 20 entries ([15])
  • Bodhi command-line client fixes
  - Output now goes to stdout, instead of stderr ([16])
    (Thanks to Till Maas)

  - Duplicate logging issue resolved([17])

  - Support using --critpath and --type with --testable
  • Link to the submitter and release on the home page & testing list (Thanks to Till Maas)
  • Made the suggest_reboot flag actually configurable
   ([18])
  • Notify the security team when an update is edited and turned into a security update ([19])
  • Only verify the autokarma thresholds if it is enabled (Thanks to Till Maas)
  • Only touch bugs under the Fedora/EPEL Bugzilla products
   ([20])
  • Prevent the masher from pushing obsolete updates
  • Prevent obsolete updates from getting auto-promoted to stable
  • Obsolete updates upon deletion, as opposed to destroying them.
  • Added more unit tests (up to 122)
  • Link up bug numbers and other URLs in the text of comments
  • Document the newpackage update type in the bodhi-client commands
  ([21])
  • Set bugs to MODIFIED upon submission
  ([22])
  • Added a bodhi --push-request={stable,testing} command to improve our releng updates push workflow
  • A new /updates/releases JSON API and python-fedora BodhiClient.get_releases() method for AutoQA
  • Have the build auto-completion widget query candidate builds from koji, as opposed to looking in /mnt/koji/packages
   ([23])
