Dear all,
As you may know, over the last few weeks I have been working on a small project
called (for the moment) cnucnu web.
You can already see it in place at: http://209.132.184.188/cnucnu/
The idea is to provide a web-interface to the release monitoring script that is
being run for the moment via the wiki:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upstream_release_monitoring
So this web-application replaces the wiki page, allows mapping of projects into
linux distributions and anyone with an OpenID account can contribute to it.
On the back, there is a cron job that runs, check for new version of the project
with the information provided and send a message on fedmsg for every new version
found.
The idea is to host the project on the Fedora infrastructure but, I would prefer
not have it under the fedoraproject.org name as I see it as a broader project than
just for Fedora: Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Slack, Suse, we all can benefit from this.
I also would like to have it broadcast messages on the debian version of fedmsg
(I'm already in contact with Olsad for this).
So, what I would like to ask is:
* what do you think of the project? Worth pursuing or not?
* Where should it live?
* Domain name suggestions? (release-monitoring.org, cnucnu.org, cnucnuweb.org,
<insert here you own idea>?)
So if we agree to get it up and running, I foresee few steps:
* Check with legal if there are any limitations (ie: can we put non-FOSS projects
in there?)
* Get the domain name
* Update the UI: we already have a design but I think it could be made nicer
(especially the front page) -- Any volunteers?
* Deploy it and see w/ Debian how to have it send messages onto their bus
* Set the DNS to point to the website
I will start the first step now already.
Thoughts?

Really really nice and helpful for tracking. Thanks.

releases-monitoring.org maybe the best among these three. I think some
guys may already know ROSA's ABI tracker and use it for comparing
ABI/API differences. http://upstream-tracker.org. It's free and open
for all users without OS limitation. And users can know its usage from
the name quickly.

This depends on which operating system does the user choose.

FWIW, I am for release-monitoring.org as well

That domain name seems in tune with the purpose, +1.

Ok, so as soon as I have an response from legal I will see if we can get it :)
Thanks to all!

Even if it is only used by Fedora it is good to get away from the wiki
page. I always planned to add some more features that require a more
information per package, e.g. getting automatic changelog details for
new packages.
So if we agree to get it up and running, I foresee few steps:

It is not only non-FOSS software but also about software with patents
that might be problematic.

I guess you're thinking of upstream's changelog from an eventual `CHANGELOG`
file in the upstream sources?
I've been thinking of cnucnu as the back-end library while cnucnu-web is just
the interface, so if you like to add more feature, I'm all for it :)

I have asked spot about this.

Love it. Totally worth pursuing :)

I'm all for keeping it distro-agnostic, but having a Powered by OpenShift
button on there couldn't hurt :P
* Domain name suggestions? (release-monitoring.org, cnucnu.org,

release-monitoring.org is decent, anything with the name cnucnu in it
will be confusing, but part of me thinks it should contain the word
upstream.
Do you envision any sort of API for this? We've wanted to have an 'Upstream
Summary' section in the fedora-packages app for a while now.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Packager#Package_details_.3E_overview
So having an API that we could hit to get the SCM type/url and latest version
would be nice :)
It also feels like cnucnu is the Right Place to house DOAP metadata ;)

Or upstream-monitoring.org?
Similar to upstream-tracker.org and nice as well.

This also popped-up when we discussed it on #fedora-devel a while ago but the
outcome (iirc) was that `upstream` might be too `downstream` (clear right? :)),
in other word, `upstream` might refer too much to the Fedora or Linux
environment, I do not know if other Linux distribution also use this word.
release-monitoring is likely less confusing for people outside our environment
(I'm thinking of perl or python developer that runs Mac, not sure they know they
are upstream).
Thoughts?

Cool, thanks :)

That's a nice idea but makes me wonder two things:
- Can I run cron job on OpenShift?
- If so and if we go the OpenShift way, we would need to figure out how to
set-up fedmsg as the cron job sends fedmsg notifications

There is a little API already but it doesn't contain the SCM information
present in the mockup. What could be added is the 'Lastest version upstream',
I'll need to add a new endpoint providing the project information for the
project name of a specified distro
https://github.com/fedora-infra/cnucnuweb/blob/master/cnucnuweb/api.py
It also feels like cnucnu is the Right Place to house DOAP metadata

Yep! https://www.openshift.com/blogs/getting-started-with-cron-jobs-on-openshift
- If so and if we go the OpenShift way, we would need to figure out
how to
set-up fedmsg as the cron job sends fedmsg notifications
I think that should work just fine, but Ralph would know for sure.
You'll probably need to point it at a config for your endpoints, since
/etc/fedmsg.d won't exist.

/etc/fedmsg.d won't exist.
We'd need a static IP that we allow in with iptables. That's the only
tricky part I can think of. (We can put the config in $(pwd)/fedmsg.d/
to point it at our inbound relay)
