394494 - Command line way to determine mirror absorption of a product

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 408673

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[John O'Duinn [:joduinn] (please use "needinfo?" flag)]

Bug#390201 lets us see the % mirror absorption a new product has currently. This lets us accurately see whether we can safely proceed to the next step in the build/release process.

Can we get the same functionally wrapped inside of a command line utility, so we could automate it as part of the build/release process?

Its unclear whether it would be better to have this:
- return a boolean (true=go, false=nogo) which means keeping the trigger threshold within bouncer.
or
- return an integer (% mirror absorption) which means keeping the trigger threshold within the build automation systems someplace.

Regardless of where the threshold is kept, there is also the question of "what should the threshold be?" Recent SWAG by justin and joduinn put it in the 75%-80%, which worked fine for a recent TB release, but this is just a SWAG.

This was discussed late at night during the recent allhands by morgamic and joduinn, but there are still many details to work out, hence this tracking bug.

I'm confused... what exactly do we want automated here?
