Announce: gerrymander 1.5 “some beans and some beans is four!” – a client API and command line tool for gerrit

I’m pleased to announce the availability of a new release of gerrymander, version 1.5. Gerrymander provides a python command line tool and APIs for querying information from the gerrit review system, as used in OpenStack and many other projects. You can get it from pypi

# pip install gerrymander

Or straight from GitHub

# git clone git://github.com/berrange/gerrymander.git

If you’re the impatient type, then go to the README file which provides a quick start guide to using the tool.

This release contains a mixture of bug fixes and new features

• Honour the ‘files’ parameter in the ‘todo-noones’ command
• Only match filenames against current patchset
• Handle pagination with gerrit >= 2.9
• Avoid looping forever if sort key is missing in results
• Don’t call encode() on integer types
• Auto-detect gerrit server from git remote
• Don’t include your own changes in todo lists
• Fix type casting of cache lifetime values in config file
• Optionally show hierarchical relationship between changes via new ‘–deps’ option

Thanks to everyone who contributed this release, whether by reporting bugs, requesting features or submitting patches.
