Adding a bodhi comments page to package update information #45

Open rapgro opened 9 years ago

rapgro commented 9 years ago

It would be nice to have an additional (optional) tab that shows available comments from updates-testing repo (in Fedora) just like the referenced bugs fixed. It should be sufficient to see them as read-only (no option to add new comments), we have other tools already to add new comments (fedora-easy-karam, Fedora Gooey Karma) that could be useful to learn the API. Not sure if I should report this RFE to downstream, but is it better to mention here cause development takes place in github?

The problem is there is no available updateinfo metadata there contains these comments

You could look at the source of fedora-easy-karma (cli tool) or Fedora Gooey Karma (GUI), if some parts could be reused.

At the moment every information in yumex-dnf comes from dnf api. Bodhi is a webservice and has an API, have not checket out if it is stable and documented I am not sure that it is a good idea to make yumex-dnf depend on a web service, it will increase the complexity a lot. I will keep the RFE open, but it will not be implemented in short term. I have some ideas about making a plugin interface for yumex-dnf, to add special functionality, this would fit one thing there can be done as a plugin. But it only on the drawing tabel yet.

That sounds okay to me, some webservice plugin would be reasonable.

fedora-easy-karma (python application, soon to be ported to python3) uses the python3-fedora package to communicate to bodhi. This could be a point to start.
