Making reviewing easier

June 16, 2009 at 11:54 am (fedora)

Having to read all the ReviewGuidelines just to review a package is not nice. Especially that you need to make a report of it after you are done. So, me, being lazy again, wrote a few lines which generates a report ready to be checked and copy/pasted to the review request (assume that what I just said is grammatically correct). The script is really simple, it just fetches http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ReviewGuidelines and uses regex to parse out MUST and SHOULD items, so in case of any change to this page, you’ll be updated.

To use it, just do:
$ ./package_review.pl > ~/my_review.txt

you can find the script here.
