Project Overview
================

.. image:: https://github.com/mgedmin/project-summary/workflows/build/badge.svg?branch=master
:target: https://github.com/mgedmin/project-summary/actions

I maintain a bunch of Open Source projects. Most of them in Python.
Most of them on GitHub.

I find it hard to keep track of when a project has accumulated enough important
changes and it's time to make a release.

This is a script to help:

- it runs every hour
- pulls the latest changes for all the projects checked out in
/srv/project-summary/
- finds the latest tag in each Git repo and counts commit since them
- collects some other data from the public GitHub API (such as the number of
open issues) and other sources (such as Python version support classifiers in
setup.py).
- generates an HTML page with all this information

You can see the result at https://projects.gedmin.as/

Setup
~~~~~

- check out this repository somewhere (e.g. /opt/project-summary)
- check out all your projects somewhere else (e.g. under /srv/project-summary/)
- create a cron script to run::

cd /opt/project-summary && make -s && bin/summary --pull --html -o index.html

- create /var/www/projects.gedmin.as/
- symlink /opt/project-summary/assets and index.html
into /var/www/projects.gedmin.as/
- set up Apache to serve /var/www/projects.gedmin.as at
https://projects.gedmin.as/

Alternative setup (Jenkins)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- set up a Jenkins job to build this hourly
(make && bin/summary --html -o index.html)
- create /var/www/projects.gedmin.as/
- symlink /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/project-summary/assets and index.html
into /var/www/projects.gedmin.as/
- set up Apache to serve /var/www/projects.gedmin.as at
https://projects.gedmin.as/

Can anyone else use this?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Probably! Don't hesitate to file bugs (or pull requests) asking for more
configurability, or for a release to PyPI.

Check out project-summary.cfg for the current configuration options.

Note on HTTP request caching
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

HTTP requests are cached for 30 minutes by default, in an SQLite database
called ``.httpcache.sqlite``.

This is because I run the script rather often while I'm developing it,
and without caching the script takes a long time to run. Also, I don't want to
run into GitHub's public API rate limits (60 requests per hour).

You can change the cache duration by specifying, e.g. ``--cache-duration 5m``
(valid units are seconds, minutes and hours and can be abbreviated to
sec/min/hour or s/m/h).
