hs-intake

Hyperscale package intake tool. Compares RPM package metadata between branches to help determine whether a package can be safely rebuilt or backported.

Shells out to fedrq for repository queries.

Installation

cargo install --path .

Requires fedrq to be installed and available in $PATH.

Usage

Comparing packages between branches

# Compare Provides
hs-intake compare-provides systemd c9s f44

# Compare Requires
hs-intake compare-requires systemd c9s f44

# Compare BuildRequires
hs-intake compare-build-requires systemd c9s f44

# Include unchanged entries
hs-intake compare-requires systemd c9s f44 --show-unchanged

# JSON output
hs-intake compare-provides systemd c9s f44 --json

Checking if a backport is safe

# Check if it is safe to backport libbpf from f44 to c9s
hs-intake safe-to-backport libbpf c9s f44

# Also check reverse dependencies on other branches
hs-intake safe-to-backport libbpf c9s f44 --also-check epel9,epel9-next

# JSON output
hs-intake safe-to-backport libbpf c9s f44 --json

The safe-to-backport command exits with a non-zero status when concerns are found. Concerns include:

BuildRequires or Requires that are added or upgraded (may not be available on the target branch).
Provides that are removed or downgraded (may break other packages on the target branch).
Reverse dependencies on the target branch that depend on affected Provides.
