<PRE>Hi

for those who were packagers at Mandriva ( or PLF ), we used to have a
website showing result of various check, called youri-check :
<A HREF="http://youri.zarb.org/demo/mandriva/">http://youri.zarb.org/demo/mandriva/</A> 

Pascal completed the installation of our own instance of youri on
<A HREF="http://check.mageia.org/">http://check.mageia.org/</A> yesterday.

For now, that's still a work in progress, and we do not have everything
ready ( ie, lots of check are missing for now, we are aware of this ),
but this should be against to find stuff to fix.

There is 2 checks : 
- dependencies
- missing

The first one check if a package has missing dependencies either
Requires or BuildRequires.
Any packagers can fix such errors.

The second check if a binary rpm is missing a source rpm. ( there is
some false positive due to clever trick, like rpmlint-mageia-policy )
So that's likely one for admins for now.

But do not blindly import missing rpms, something, the requires is
wrong :

So for example, if you see :
task-lamp task-lamp-python apache-mod_python not found
 
Check that apache-mod_python is still needed ( in this case, the
software was dropped upstream since a few years ( and that's a shame
IMHO )).

On the other hand, errors like the one of backuppc may be a error in the
check.


The page is regenerated every 6h, people curious can look on
<A HREF="http://svnweb.mageia.org/adm/puppet/modules/youri-check/">http://svnweb.mageia.org/adm/puppet/modules/youri-check/</A>

We can blacklist false positives, so do not hesitate to ask if you see
something wrong. We will enable the rest of the check later ( ie check
for updates, check for age, etc ).
