In our project called rebase-helper https://github.com/phracek/rebase-helper
we would like to analyze a new upstream version against an old upstream
version
and let user now what is changed. E.g. Binaries are missing, soname bump
change, header files are missing etc.

Is there any possibility how to integrate a tool (e.g. rebase-helper) to
upstream release monitoring system?

Wow.  This looks great and I'd love to have it integrated into
the-new-hotness (that's the Fedora-specific daemon that files bugs and
tries scratch builds).

The relevant code is here:  https://github.com/fedora-infra/the-new-hotness/blob/develop/hotness/buildsys.py#L78-L123

Want to try your hand at adding it in?  Stop by #fedora-apps when you
have time to chat about it and we can work on the details if you like.

We're entering infrastructure Alpha freeze later today, so we wouldn't
be able to push this out for a few weeks at the earliest.


rebase-helper is mostly finish for upstream monitoring system.
I would like to ask you for some things.
1) Where the-new-hotness daemon is running?
2) Do you think that it is possible to install rebase-helper package  on the system where the-new-hotness daemon
runs?
If not shall I start my own system where the rebase-helper will run?
I suggest that first one option is the best.
3) In first case should I start my own daemon or the-new-hotness-daemon will call rebase-helper API?
https://github.com/fedora-infra/the-new-hotness/blob/develop/hotness/buildsys.py#L78-L123
Would it be possible to get an access to that machine. For testing purpose.

4) What parameters will be passed to rebase-helper? msg structure?

5) Rebase-helper currently builds an RPM packages with rpmbuild. But fedpkg is better I guess.
Rebase-helper will build old and new packages with fedpkg scratch builds.
Could you please advise me how to execute them with fedpkg?
Of course I can read the-new-hotness daemon source and implemented by myself.
