      Description

      In order to properly include in the product tree all packages resolved via lsst_distrib, it is necessary to provide the following information, in each package git repository:

      • Short name of the package, a text to display in the (yellow box) of the product tree (max 18 characters)
        • Suggestion: It could follow the namespace naming rules, but first letter capital
      • Key string, 2 to 7 character, it shall be unique, the shorter the better, it has to be used for automatic process building the product tree
        • Examples, JCAL for jointcal, ASTMT for astro_metadata_translator, DAFB for daf_butler,
      • Reference person(s), someone that has the best knowledge on that software package and is usually maintaining it, 2 references can be given
        • Proposed format: github_username (Full Name) [github_username (Full Name)]

       

      The proposal is to add this information in a file, my first thought is a info.yaml in the home folder of each repository.

            If I understand correctly from the last comments, the only information we need is:

            • wbsowner
            • expert

            I had a look to the milestone project (in lsst-dm) but I did not find any json with project names.

            John Swinbank can you indicate where I can find this information?

            Gabriele Comoretto [X] — sorry I didn't see your comment earlier.

            I think we discussed this at the DM-CCB yesterday. The only JSON file in https://github.com/lsst-dm/milestones is used to provide information about milestones. I'm not aware of any existing JSON file which defines project (product?) names, although I guess maybe https://github.com/lsst/repos/blob/master/etc/repos.yaml is close?

            I think repos.yaml is used for build purposes. Add there information for documentation purpose is not the right thing in my opinion.

            Since I will be parsing README files in any cases, I think that this is the most suitable location for the (optional) display_name information, in addition to wbsowner and expert as concluded above.
