Add a link checker script and instructions on how to run it. First run found some problems, fix those as well: * Escape some url templates from link creation with a '\' prefix, the templates need to be turned into valid urls by inserting a package name. * For some reason, the link checker cannot follow https://crates.io/crates/bodhi-cli. This tool is also packaged in the official Fedora repositories, and it is customary to refer to such tools simply by tool name, so replacing the link with that instead of excluding that link for the check. * https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/new requires authentication. It is not wrong to link there, but since the Bodhi web app main page also has a "New Update" button, replacing the link there, so even unauthenticated readers get a good experience. * Fix link to nonexistent page at src.fedoraproject.org with a link to site root, which is suitable in the context.

|
== TLDR; Get Packages Monitored
|
|
|
|
Get bug reports for a project's releases in Fedora's Bugzilla with three steps:
|
|
|
|
. Add the project to https://release-monitoring.org[Anitya].
|
|
. Map the project to a Fedora package in Anitya.
|
|
. Tweak the monitoring setting for your packages at https://src.fedoraproject.org[Fedora Package Sources].

== Details
|
|
|
|
One of the core foundation of Fedora is _First_
|
|
which implies having the latest versions of software
|
|
(in rawhide and sometimes in released branches),
|
|
but as a package maintainer
|
|
it can be tedious to keep up with the releases from multiple projects.
|
|
|
|
Fedora thus offers a service to help with this.
|
|
This service is divided into three components:
|
|
|
|
* Anitya
|
|
* monitoring settings at Fedora Package Sources
|
|
* https://github.com/fedora-infra/the-new-hotness/[The-new-hotness]
|
|
|
|
=== Anitya
|
|
|
|
Available at https://release-monitoring.org[release-monitoring.org],
|
|
Anitya provides a web service where anyone can register a project.
|
|
Anitya will then broadcast a http://fedmsg.com[fedmsg] message
|
|
when it finds a new release.
|
|
Checks are run by cron twice a day.
|
|
|
|
Anitya is not specific to Fedora
|
|
but we are using it as a way to learn about new releases.
|
|
Edit entries there to your heart's content.
|
|
|
|
Bugs, features request and patches should go to https://github.com/fedora-infra/anitya/issues[anitya/issues].

|
|
[#monitoring_settings_at_src.fedoraproject.org]
|
|
=== Monitoring settings at src.fedoraproject.org
|
|
|
|
Fedora package maintainers can use the bottom left column
|
|
at the package's page at https://src.fedoraproject.org/[src.fedoraproject.org]
|
|
to have it monitored by the-new-hotness (see below).
|
|
|
|
[#the_new_hotness]
|
|
=== The-New-Hotness
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/fedora-infra/the-new-hotness/[The-new-hotness] is an application that listens to the fedmsg bus
|
|
and acts upon receiving messages from https://release-monitoring.org[release-monitoring.org].
|
|
|
|
When it receives a message indicating that a project has a new release,
|
|
and that project is mapped to a Fedora package,
|
|
it will check in pkgdb2 if the Fedora package is marked to be monitored.
|
|
|
|
If the package is marked to be monitored,
|
|
the-new-hotness will open a ticket on https://bugzilla.redhat.com[Bugzilla]
|
|
mentioning the availability of the new release.
|
|
It will then clone the git repository,
|
|
bump the version and reset the release,
|
|
download the new sources (if it can)
|
|
and attempt a scratch build in koji.
|
|
|
|
The result of the scratch build is then added to the open bugzilla ticket.
|
|
|
|
Subsequent successful koji builds are added to the ticket as well.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: In some cases the scratch build will always fail
|
|
(for example if the `Source0` in the spec file cannot be adjusted automatically),
|
|
if you wish to avoid receiving the notification that the scratch-build failed,
|
|
you can set the monitoring flag in pkgdb2 to _nobuild_ (or _Bugs only_).
|
|
Then the bugzilla ticket will be created upon finding a new version,
|
|
but no scratch build will be made.
