- remove the use of environment variables to get directory paths,
- make use of arguments / argparse instead of environment variables in `update.py` and `report.py`,
- automatically guess the data directory in `latest.py` based on the script's location,
- propagate log level to auto scripts,
- move `list_configs_from_argv` from `endoflife` module to `releasedata` module,
- use `list_products` in `latest.py` to load the product's frontmatters.
Align custom scripts with generic scripts, making them configurable. This has a few advantages:
- script code is more unified,
- no more hard-coded method names in scripts, which is less error prone and make it easier to rename scripts,
- no more hard coded product names in scripts, which is less error prone and make it easier to rename products,
- less hard-coded URLs and regexes in scripts, which makes auto-configuration more expressive / updatable,
Also added method `endoflife.list_configs_from_argv()` so that it is easier to manipulate scripts arguments.
Until now products could declare multiple auto-update methods, but they all had to be of the same kind.
For example if you used the git auto-update method, you could not use an additional github_releases or custom auto-update method.
This is an issue as it prevents us to extend the auto-update process, for example by having a product using the 'git' auto-update method to retrieve all the versions, and a custom script to retrieve support and EOL dates.
This improve the scripts execution orchestration to be able to support auto configurations using a mix of methods, meaning:
- multiple kind of methods, such as git and github_release,
- or multiple custom methods.
A side-effect of those changes is that now a failure in a generic script does not cancel the update of subsequent products.
Another side-effect, unwanted this time, is that now custom scripts managing multiple products, such as apple.py, are now executed multiple times instead of once.
This way the writing of the JSON file is handled automatically if the update does not fail.
It pave the way to further global improvements, such as a better error handling.
Make endoflife.list_products return product instead of just the product name, to avoid having to reload the product a second time to get more information.
It may not be the best place for that (gha.py would have been better), but it's the shorter / faster way to do it for now.
Moreover it now uses logging for writing the group. The logger format has been updated for this to work. This was done to fix issues on GitHub Action logs, where groups were declared after the logs.
- Move frontmatter-related operation from Product to ProductFrontmatter. This makes more senses, as we are manipulating different files / kind of data.
- Use Product directly to load old versions.
Make the script more readable, mostly by:
- using the Product and AutoConfig classes,
- removing the use of functions when unnecessary,
- a little bit of renaming and documentation.
This auto method also now support custom regexes and template.
Recently links to web.archive.org were added for various products. Such links are very long to load. This increases the default timeout value so that such links do not make the update fail.
Create a common function to write resulting JSON files to the releases directory.
It makes this task simpler to read and maintain, while making it modifiable at a central point in the future.
One example of such modification could be the sorting of the versions in a uniform way for all the scripts.
This creates a common function to fetch HTTP URLs, with enhanced capabilities (retry, use of a known User-Agent).
It makes scripts that need those capabilities simpler, while improving other scripts.
This commit also fixes some scripts that did not log properly (cos.py, eks.py, haproxy.py, palo-alto-networks.py, rhel.py, ros.py, unrealircd.py).
Generic scripts are scripts that handle multiple product based on some identifier (URL, coordinates...).
This creates a common function to list and load product configurations for those scripts.
It makes them simpler to read and maintain, while making the way they work much more consistent.
1. Drop RC and milestone releases by adopting a simple
version regex. Drops a few non-stable releases from
jreleaser and tomcat. Tested against all of the maven
automated pages
2. Fix pages with multiple auto: maven entries. In particular,
groovy was using this, but the newer 4.0 releases were not
being written correctly to disk.
