Prescriptions for Thoth's adviser
Prescriptions to heal your applications and application dependencies.
What are prescriptions?
This repository keeps a database of known issues in Python open-source projects as well as suggestions for Python libraries and runtime environments they can run in. The database is used in Thoth to resolve high quality Python software stacks.
When using OpenShift or Kubernetes, one provides manifest files that state how the desired state of a cluster should look like. Prescriptions might be seen analogous to this - prescriptions provide a way to declaratively state how the desired dependency resolution should look like considering the prescribed rules. Then, it’s up to the reinforcement learning algorithm implemented in Thoth's adviser to find a solution in the form of a lockfile respecting the prescribed rules, requirements for the application and other inputs to the Thoth's cloud resolver.
See the linked presentation or YouTube video for more info.
