  1. New commitfest app release on August 19th

    Jelte Fennema-Nio <me@jeltef.nl> — 2025-08-08T07:19:40Z

    Thanks to the Claude Code AI tool I was able to get some boring
    cleanup done on the CF app in not that much time. I'll release all of
    it on August 19th.
    
    List of the changes:
    - Update to Bootstrap 5 for more modern visual look and better default
    contrast of a bunch of UI elements.
    - Add a navigation bar at the top of the page, including a "Contribute
    on GitHub" button which links to the CF app repo.
    - Move the dashboard to the homepage under the list of commitfests.
    - Much better tag selector, which shows the tag descriptions and
    colors. (descriptions are also searchable).
    - Bugfix where draft patches would show in the wrong section in the
    personal dashboard
    - Nicer sorting icons for the commitfest columns (exact icon depends
    on the column)
    - Show Search/Filter options by default
    - Improved the typography of date ranges by using an en-dash\

    As always, you can see the changes live here:
    
    https://commitfest-test.postgresql.org/ (username and password are "pgtest")
    
    Feedback is welcome. Especially if you think something looks off or
    buttons don't work (likely caused by the Bootstrap 5 upgrade). I think
    I visited all the pages and clicked all the buttons, but I might have
    missed a few.

    Nice stuff.  I tried the search, works great, hadn't noticed it before
    though now I see it was there already.  Maybe the result page could be
    improved still, for instance
    https://commitfest-test.postgresql.org/search/?searchterm=psql
    shows a long list of patches in which it's hard to see which ones are
    current, which were Committed, which ones were Returned with Feedback.
    (The latter is extremely useful to find old items that were neglected --
    I do that all the time, manually, very annoying.)
    
    I hope more widespread use of tags will one day release us from having
    the "Topic" categorization, which is not all that useful anymore.
    
    Two minor comments: the tags in the patch page
    https://commitfest-test.postgresql.org/patch/5501/
    are not clickable, so I can't go to other patches containing the same
    tags as this one.  This sounds like a trivial fix.  Tags are already
    clickable in other pages.
    
    The other one I noticed while looking at the prod Draft-CF a couple of
    days ago.  Here:
    https://commitfest-test.postgresql.org/54/
    I think the "Closed patches" in the draft CF should not list the patches
    that were moved to a future non-draft CF -- that's clutter and serves no
    purpose.  It still makes sense to list the Draft-CF in the "Status"
    section of the patch page itself.  (Eh, now I notice that the help page
    says at the bottom "Another difference between Draft CommitFests and
    regular CommitFests is that Draft CommitFests don't list resolved
    patches." which is kinda not true)
    
    
    Not a fan of the high-contrast buttons (the new black/white elements in
    the navigation bar).  It feels odd to have everything in gray, except a
    too-notorious blue Github button.  IMO that button is also too wide --
    if I keep the browser window of the same width I typically use (half the
    screen) then the menu at the top disappears and is replaced with the
    hamburger button, and so becomes unusable.
    
    Many thanks for working on this,

    Indeed I just moved the box around this time. It's probably not too
    hard to allow searching globally. So I created an issue to track it:

    Yeah, that's something I intend to try out soonish.

    It's not entirely trivial I guess: What CF should those buttons link
    to? The In Progress CF, the Open CF or the last CF that

    I think that's fair. How about I simply remove the closed patches
    section in Draft CFs completely and make sure a closed/completed patch
    is always moved to the open CF? Or do you see any reason to keep the
    section?

    I'll see if I can make the styling of the buttons a bit better.

    This is now deployed to production. Please let me know if some
    behaviour got broken or styling looks weird.

    The new UI looks nicer.
    
    But I now aways get “Error 503 Backend fetch failed” when I click on any email link or attachment link.

    Seems the web-archives are having issues. That's unfortunate timing,
    but unrelated to the commitfest app deploy.

    That happens from time to time.  This is unrelated to the CF app
    itself.

    I found the font difficult to read, like it's not rendering smoothly
    on my system. While the text looked smaller, I had to zoom out to 75%
    in my browser to get the whole table to fit on screen --  anyone else?

    That's a difference between Bootstrap 3 and Bootstrap 5 I guess.
    Before font-family was set to this:
    
    "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif
    
    Now it's set to this much longer fallback string:
    
    system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Noto
    Sans", "Liberation Sans", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji",
    "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"
    
    Can you check what font is actually being used on your system like this[1]?

    Hmm, you seem to have changed the main page title from "Commitfests" to
    "CommitFests".  There is a subjective argument that the uppercase F in
    the middle of that word looks terrible for some reason, but there's also
    the objective argument that the change on that particular page broke the
    pginfra monitoring for the page.  
    
    Can you please put that lowercase "f" back?  Here's a quick patch.  (I
    think several people would not be pleased if the uppercase F were to
    propagate much more.)

    Thanks for your continued work on improving the commitfest app!
    
    I pushed the patch registered in PG19-2 and tried to change its status
    to Committed by clicking [Change Status] -> [Committed] in its
    commitfest page [1]. This worked fine until yesterday, but starting
    today, nothing happens when I click it. Could this be related to

    Applied and deployed your patch to make the monitoring happy. Could
    you add me to whatever list is necessary for me to receive these
    notifications too?
    
    I'm wondering what other people consider the correct spelling though.
    The wiki[1] has been using the spelling with the capital F. As well as
    the code for the commitfest app.

    Same here (Firefox 141, Ubuntu 24.04). I had to scale the page to 90%.
    
    It doesn't bother me too much - just wanted to share in case the
    intent was to make the table screen-wide. It seems to be slightly
    wider in practice.

    In the earliest conversations I can find about the idea on -core, we
    actually used commit-fest. However, I would say Commitfest is correct, as
    that's what we've used for the name on the site for years.

    For me, with Safari on macOS, the font does look a bit different but
    not objectionably so.  But I too notice that the tables of patches
    seem significantly wider than before.  If I zoom out enough to fit
    the whole table width in my usual browser window, the text is almost
    unreadably small.  The tables were a bit wider than screen width
    already, but it feels like they changed significantly.

    I deployed a change now where the font-size is changed back to 14px
    again, and I removed "system-ui" font from the font list. I hope that
    solves the difficult to read fonts and larger tables issues. Feedback
    welcome, since this is definitely a thing that difference based on the
    machine/screen/OS.

    Many thanks!  It is indeed happier.

    Hmm, I don't know that I can do that.  It's kinda hardcoded to pginfra
    sysadmins and adding exceptions to the multiple layers of config file
    generation looks quite arcane.  I'm not touching that for now, sorry.

    I'm happy to assign blame the capital F to people who's no longer with
    the project, so they don't have to defend the choice.
    (Actually, it may have been me.)

    The font is much better, thanks!
    
    The table still only fits at 80%, but I think even that would be
    tolerable if ID were put at the end of the row. I've never needed the
    ID by itself, and if I did I could mouse-over the patch link.

    While using the CommitFest interface to send a private mail, I noticed
    that the confirmation checkbox ("Check to confirm sending") does not
    appear as a standard small tick box. Instead, it renders as a long
    horizontal box across the page. The functionality still works, but the
    display looks incorrect.

    We just witnessed something weird with a patch that's perhaps a bug in
    the workflow for detecting attachments.  Patch in question was
    https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/5972/
    
    1. patch was in CF19-2
    2. patch needed rebase.
    3. Mario sent a new mail with rebased git-format-patch to the thread
    4. patch continued to need rebase. In fact, it appeared as if the thread
       info was not updated at all.
    5. Mario moved the CF item to CF19-3
    6. Nothing appeared to change, i.e. the thread display said that the
       last email was from Peter, ignoring the new email.
    7. I detached the thread from the CF item, then attached the thread
       again.  This time it showed both messages, but the attachment list
       continued to show only the old one, ignoring the new patch.
    
    Any thoughts?  One idea is to delete the CF item and create it afresh :-)
    
    
    I *suspect* that the thread-processor ignored the attachment because of
    CF19-2 being dead, but had already imported the email message; and then
    when the patch was moved to CF19-3, the new email was not processed
    again so the attachment was again not seen.  Does that make sense?
    
    Thanks!

    I just noticed something interesting:
    
    https://commitfest.postgresql.org/57/
    
    is still too small per my complaint above, but
    
    https://commitfest.postgresql.org/58/
    
    looks just fine at 100% browser zoom. It looks like the biggest
    (only?) difference is the width of the "Patch column".

    I've pushed some CSS to staging to do a bit more aggressive wrapping
    if stuff doesn't fit in the table (the reason it overflowed seemed to
    be long usernames and long single words in patch descriptions). Can
    you double check if that solves the problem for you:
    
    https://commitfest-test.postgresql.org/ (username and password are "pgtest")
    
    If so I'll deploy it together with the other changes on staging in ~2 weeks.
