- 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.
