poi-tracker

Package-of-interest tracker for Fedora, EPEL, and CentOS SIGs.

Manages TOML-based inventories of packages that an organization tracks across distributions. Supports exporting to content-resolver YAML and hs-relmon manifest formats.

Installation

cargo install poi-tracker

Usage

Show inventory

poi-tracker show -i inventory.toml
poi-tracker show -i inventory.toml --workload hyperscale
poi-tracker show -i inventory.toml --json

Add / remove packages

poi-tracker add systemd -i inventory.toml \
    --poc "Team <team@example.com>" \
    --rpm systemd-networkd \
    --workload hyperscale \
    --track upstream

poi-tracker remove systemd -i inventory.toml
poi-tracker remove systemd -i inventory.toml --rpm systemd-networkd

Export to content-resolver YAML

# Export all workloads (one YAML per workload)
poi-tracker export content-resolver -i inventory.toml

# Export a single workload
poi-tracker export content-resolver -i inventory.toml \
    --workload hyperscale

# Custom output path (single workload only)
poi-tracker export content-resolver -i inventory.toml \
    --workload hyperscale -o custom.yaml

Export to hs-relmon manifest

# Merge multiple inventories into one manifest
poi-tracker export hs-relmon \
    -i inv-cloud.toml -i inv-hw.toml -o manifest.toml

# Filter by workload
poi-tracker export hs-relmon -i inventory.toml \
    --workload hyperscale -o manifest.toml

Find a package

poi-tracker find systemd -i inv1.toml -i inv2.toml

Sync from dist-git

Create or update an inventory from packages a user or group has access to on Fedora dist-git (Pagure). Re-running merges new packages without overwriting existing entries or annotations.

# All packages for a user
poi-tracker sync-distgit --user salimma -o my.toml

# All packages for a group
poi-tracker sync-distgit --group kde-sig -o kde.toml

# Exclude packages with only group-based access
poi-tracker sync-distgit --user salimma --no-groups

# Only packages from specific groups
poi-tracker sync-distgit --user salimma \
    --include-group rust-sig,python-packagers-sig

# Exclude specific groups
poi-tracker sync-distgit --user salimma \
    --exclude-group rust-sig

# Add workload tags to all imported packages
poi-tracker sync-distgit --group kde-sig \
    --workload kde -o kde.toml

# Remove packages no longer in dist-git results
poi-tracker sync-distgit --user salimma --prune -o my.toml

Packages where the user has both direct and group-based access are always included, regardless of group filters.

Without --prune, packages in the inventory that are no longer in the dist-git results are listed as a warning but kept.

Import from legacy JSON

poi-tracker import old-inventory.json -o inventory.toml \
    --private-fields poc,reason,team,task \
    --workload hyperscale

Validate

poi-tracker validate -i inventory.toml

Configure (Bugzilla API key)

poi-tracker config

Prompts for a Bugzilla API key, validates it with a quick test search, and saves it to ~/.config/poi-tracker/config.toml. Lookup order at runtime: --api-key flag → BUGZILLA_API_KEY env var → config file.

Generate an API key at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=apikey.

Triage update bugs

Some packages reliably need attention when a new upstream version appears — python-django* updates almost always fix CVEs, for instance. Mark them in the inventory with a priority field (or a workload-level default_priority), then have poi-tracker triage the auto-filed release-monitoring bugs by raising their Bugzilla priority:

poi-tracker -i inventory.toml triage-updates --dry-run
poi-tracker -i inventory.toml triage-updates

For each inventoried package with a resolved priority, this queries OPEN bugs reported by upstream-release-monitoring@ fedoraproject.org (against Fedora and Fedora EPEL) and raises any whose priority is unspecified. Bugs already triaged by a human are left alone.

Per-package priority wins over default_priority; if a package is in multiple workloads, the highest workload default applies. Set priority = "unspecified" on a package to explicitly opt out of a workload default.

Inventory format

[inventory]
name = "hyperscale-packages"
description = "CentOS Hyperscale SIG packages"
maintainer = "centos-hyperscale"
labels = ["eln-extras"]
private_fields = ["poc", "reason", "team", "task"]

[inventory.workloads.hyperscale]
name = "hs-packages"
description = "Hyperscale SIG workload"
labels = ["eln-extras"]

[inventory.workloads.epel]
name = "hs-epel-packages"
description = "Hyperscale EPEL workload"

[[package]]
name = "systemd"
poc = "Linux Userspace <team@example.com>"
reason = "Core init system"
rpms = ["systemd-networkd"]
workloads = ["hyperscale"]
track = "upstream"

[package.arch_rpms]
x86_64 = ["systemd-boot-unsigned"]
aarch64 = ["systemd-boot-unsigned"]

[[package]]
name = "fish"
rpms = ["fish"]
workloads = ["hyperscale", "epel"]
track = "upstream"

Fields

Each [inventory.workloads.<key>] section can override name, description, maintainer, labels, and default_priority for content-resolver export and triage-updates. Omitted fields fall back to inventory-level values.
