Anitya
======

Anitya is a release monitoring project.

Its goal is to regulary check if a project has made a new release. Originally
developed within Fedora, the project created tickets on the `Fedora
bugzilla <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/>`_ when a new release is available.
Now this service has been split into two parts:

* `anitya <https://github.com/fedora-infra/anitya>`_: find and announce new
  releases
* `the new hotness <https://github.com/fedora-infra/the-new-hotness/>`_:
  listens to the fedmsg bus, open a ticket on bugzilla for packages allowing
  for it and trigger a scratch-build of the new version

Anitya provides a user-friendly interface to add or edit projects. New
releases are announced on `fedmsg <http://fedmsg.com>`_ and notifications
can then be sent via `FMN <http://github.com/fedora-infra/fmn>`_ (the FedMsg
Notifications service).

Hacking
-------

Here are some preliminary instructions about how to stand up your own instance
of anitya.  We'll use a virtualenv and a sqlite database and we'll install
our dependencies from the Python Package Index (PyPI).  None of these are best
practices for a production instance, but they will do for development.

First, set up a virtualenv::

    $ sudo yum install python-virtualenv
    $ virtualenv anitya-env
    $ source anitya-env/bin/activate

Issueing that last command should change your prompt to indicate that you are
operating in an active virtualenv.

Next, install your dependencies::

    (anitya-env)$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Create the database, by default it will be a sqlite database located at
``/var/tmp/anitya-dev.sqlite``::

    (anitya-env)$ python createdb.py

If all goes well, you can start a development instance of the server by
running::

    (anitya-env)$ python runserver.py
