            Bug ID: 48034
           Summary: Better detect which Wine-related project a patch
                    applies to
           Product: Wine-Testbot
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: fgouget at codeweavers.com
      Distribution: ---

Currently the TestBot uses two pieces of information to detect whether a patch
sent to the mailing list is a Wine patch or not:
* The list of Wine source files (see bug 48033).
* A pair of blacklists for source filenames that are too generic to be proof a
patch is a Wine patch (see $AmbiguousPathsRe and $IgnoredPathsRe in
testbot/lib/WineTestBot/PatchUtils.pm).

A better method would be for the TestBot server to have access to all the
Wine-related repositories. A patch would initially be considered as a match for
all of them and the list of files it patches would then be analyzed. Every time
it patches a (not-new) file not present in one of the repositories, that
repository would be eliminated from the list of matches for that patch. At the
end the remaining repositories are the ones the patch could apply to. Most of
the time there should only be one and the TestBot would only create jobs if
Wine is one of them.

This would mostly eliminate the need for the hard-coded blacklists and may open
the door to expanding support for other Wine-related projects since the TestBot
would be able to identify patches for these projects too.
