New sync_distributions command

Baptiste Beauplat requested to merge lyknode/debexpo:feat/sync-distributions into live

This MR adds a new sync_distributions management command to synchronize debexpo distribution list against distro-info data.

Using the python library to access distro-info data, it loads the supported list of release names from the specified DISTRO_INFO_VENDOR setting (defaulting to debian). The reference list is enhanced with a list of static distribution (from STATIC_SUITES) as well as the suite aliases (from SUITE_ALIASES). Each suite (static suites excluded) is then computed against a list of suffixes (from DISTRIBUTION_SUFFIX) to get the final list of allowed release.

This list is compared to the one from debexpo, resulting into a list of addition and deletion.

Following user confirmation, the modification are applied to debexpo.

As usual, documentation, dependencies and test coverage are included.

Note: a static version of distro-info data is used for testing, as to not failed on next update.

This MR also adds the new non-free-firmware to the list of valid components.

Additionally, the MR includes those minor corrections:

  • copyright year updates
  • standalone job for the dependency checks (currently failing due to celery depending on tzdata)
  • a fix for job coverage reporting

Closes: #151 (closed)
