pombredanne/anitya-devpi-demo

Notes

• anitya doesn't harvest package metadata (we would have to write this ourself)
• anitya uses probably cron for scheduling (that's what upstream has)
• we need to poll very likely
• once a new release is found, anitya posts a message to fedmsg and new-hotness picks it up and processes it
• will pipeline have message bus?
• we can write our own fedmsg consumer which will forward messages about new releases
• anitya has support for vast amount of backends (npm, PyPI, maven, ruby, cpan, github, ...)

Demo

Let's try a proof of concept where we try to release a package to our locally running devpi and let anitya to pick up the release.

Guide

Build and run both services

$ docker-compose up

(yes, it's one dead-simple command)

devpi

We need to set up an account on devpi:

$ docker exec -ti anityadevpidemo_devpi_1 bash
devpi $ devpi use http://localhost:5001
devpi $ devpi login root --password ''
devpi $ devpi user -m root password=123

And create index:

devpi index -c demo
devpi use demo

We are all set to upload our package:

cd demo_package/
devpi upload --no-vcs

test REST API:

$ curl -v -H "Accept: application/json" http://localhost:5001/root/demo/demo-package

URL is constructed like this:

/<user>/<namespace>/<project>
