#979 Idea: koji "tip of the day"
Opened by mikem. Modified

[tagged: backlog+discussion. This is not something for us to work on right now. We need better docs and a solid list of curated tips before we try. I'm just filing this so it doesn't get forgotten completely.]

Someone suggested this, perhaps jokingly, but it may actually be a useful idea. The feature would be to add a Koji "tip of the day" somewhere in the interface. The trick is to add in in places where it gets noticed, but doesn't cause problems to annoyance. I can see it working in the web ui. Not sure if there's good place in the cli (maybe koji hello?).

This sounds like a nice idea! :thumbsup:

Cool idea!
It sounds like we could aded tips there:
1. show random tip in koji hello
2. return random tip when invoking activate_session
3. a new command koji tip

I like the web ui and koji tip approach. First one is unobtrusive, while second some could add to their profiles or alias with something else, so we don't are too aggressive.
  • maybe we can start some file in docs with useful tips (maybe not part of generated docs yet)?

Absent anything else, maybe start putting some tips in this issue.

I was thinking, that it can show different tips based on non/admin permissions. Admin usually now well, how to use koji for dev work, but often don't know about some configuration tasks and vice versa.
  • Do you know that you can have sometimes faster scratch build if you pass –no-rebuild-srpm to brew build command?
  • Do you know that you can wait for actual buildroot when spawning a build? (brew build –wait-repo)
  • Do you know that you can wait until some build made it to buildroot? (brew build –wait-build=my_build_dependency)
