Thanks, the information this gives is very complete. I have a few comments, see below. Also, could you please run flake8 and fix the PEP-8 issues? I found 10 of them but it's probably easier if you run flake8 yourself to see what I mean :)

review: Needs Fixing

[Zygmunt Krynicki (zyga)]

Lots of details below. Thanks for proposing this but please keep iterating until it all gets fixed.

Also, rewrite your commit messages:

<component>:<subcomponent>: imperative statement as to what is being changed
\n
Longer description as to what is being changed and why. Include as much detail as you want here.

Thanks

@ZK,

I still don't understand how to use flake8-docstrings to check.
It gave me some Error but I have no idea how to fix, I will do it tomorrow.

 * I don't use python3-debian, because I just need the Modaliases information, rfc822 is good for this case
 * when will check_output() raise OSError? >> when dkms is not found

[Zygmunt Krynicki (zyga)]

To use flake8-docstrings just pip3 install --user flake8-docstrings
and run flake8 on the file you are working on.

The python3-debian module seems to contain the deb822 module which
seems to do the parsing for the Debian variant of RFC822. I would
prefer to use that over the email module as it probably handles
something that the email parser will misinterpret.

Thanks
ZK

If we use this, will we also need to add python3-debian as a
dependency in packaging?

Just asking/pointing out so we're aware of the possible extra work needed

[Zygmunt Krynicki (zyga)]

Yes. I was going to wait until Shawn is done with the current batch.

Shawn, please add this next to the new script (in some .pxu file):

# The dkms_info script requires python3-debian package
unit: packaging meta-data
os-id: debian
Depends: python3-debian

For details check the plainbox-packaging-meta-data manual page.

Thanks

[Zygmunt Krynicki (zyga)]

It keeps getting better but there are a few more things to fix below.

review: Needs Fixing

[Zygmunt Krynicki (zyga)]

Hey.

Thanks for all the improvements! There are some more stylistic below, please have a look at them

In general you can cut some of the code away by using @functools.lrucache() for many of the expensive things you compute in properties and manually store to avoid re-computing them later. The second common thing is the way function/method docstrings are formatted.

A "proper docstring looks like this"

def foo(a, b):
   """Do something very simple."""
   return a + b

def bar(a, b):
   """
   Do something more complex to warrant a longer docstring.

   :param a:
       The first argument
   :param b:
       The second argument
   :returns:
       The phase of the moon

   This function computes the phase of the moon, as visible on the *a*th
   day of the *b*th month of the current year. If the current year is a
   Leap year then the constant "rabbit" is returned instead.
   """

This is somewhat more verbose but it is, in general, easier to read. Use your gut feeling to pick the short vs the long format.

I didn't try running this yet. I'll post a separate set of comments for that later today.

Hi Zyga,

I did some performance improve and update the docstring.
However, "dpkg -S", "modalaises matching" are still need some time.

real 0m1.345s (before) -> 0m0.986s
user 0m0.973s (before) -> 0m0.676s
sys 0m0.072s

[Zygmunt Krynicki (zyga)]

Please review the comments on the previous iteration of the proposal. You didn't address all of them (lru and uname, for example).

[Zygmunt Krynicki (zyga)]

16:25 < roadmr> zyga: got time for another quick look at https://code.launchpad.net/~shawn111/checkbox/hexr-dkms/+merge/257533 ? some things may still be missing :(
16:25 <@zyga> roadmr: yeah, looking
16:26 <@zyga> roadmr: oh, I did today I think
16:26 <@zyga> roadmr: let's see
16:28 <@zyga> roadmr: I did review it but not everything is done yet, I know shawnwang didn't know how to use lru_cache but we discussed that on IRC
16:28 <@zyga> roadmr: I'm waiting for another upload that will address all the manual caching
16:28 < roadmr> zyga: ok, not a problem, thanks!

[Shawn Wang (shawn111)]

@Zyga,

I updated with lru_cache and classmethod.

It didn't improve too much of performance.

There are two bottlenecks: dkms status(run one time), match_patterns(run many times).
Both two bottlenecks are depends on how many device packages are installed.
More packages are more slow.

I run on one Dell machine, it is ~22 secs. (6 packages)
another HP machine, it is ~3 secs. (5 packages)
On my own machine, it is ~2 secs. (3 packages)

[Zygmunt Krynicki (zyga)]

I worked on this branch today and the results can be seen in the hexr-dkms branch of my git repository [1]

[1] https://code.launchpad.net/~zyga/checkbox/+git/checkbox/+ref/hexr-dkms

There are numerous changes that I've made. I think that docstrings and tests are badly missing in a few spots. The user interface could use a few changes too.

I ran the code on my machine with virtualbox module. I could use test data from systems that have the other useful types of module information (oem-something and patterned modaliases).

Lastly I think the way we collect and present information should change. Dicts are great but python objects are dicts too and they feel more suited for the job. This affects the get_dkmses and get_nondkmses functions.

I've left lots of XXX: notes in the tree, on stuff that I didn't finish fixing. Let's see what we can do about this.

3727. By Shawn Wang on 2015-05-14

providers:checkbox: add dkms_info to fetch device related package information.

supported package types:
 - dkms (Dynamic Kernel Module Support): provides kernel modules
 - non-dkms: packages that with modaliases header and don't exist in dkms list
  - hardware modalias: might be a dkms or config package
  - oemalias: It is like non-dkms(w/o modalias)

supported output format:
 - summary: one line per packages with matched modaliases information
 - json: json output (fully information)

3728. By Shawn Wang on 2015-05-14

providers:checkbox: add dkms_info_attachment, device_package_info_attachment jobs

Collect device related package information,
 dkms_info_attachment: json dump format of dkms package information
 device_package_info_attachment: list packages with matched hardware modaliases information

[Zygmunt Krynicki (zyga)]

Let's merge it.

Thanks a *lot* for iterating and for changing this so many times. I think we can iron out any remaining issue, -- if any -- as bugs.
