The Sample Platform Project

This proposal outlines several key areas for improvement in the Sample Platform, which is CCExtractor's platform for managing tests, uploading samples, running regression tests, and more. The proposal highlights the need to regularly update code with stable packages for compatibility and security, address bugs and improve functionality such as status reporting to GitHub, implement effective CI/CD, enhance artifact download, and introduce a regression finder feature. The proposal also discusses the importance of Sample Platform in maintaining the stability of CCExtractor and ensuring safe changes in pull requests. To implement these goals, the proposal suggests deprecating support for Python 3.7 and supporting Python 3.10 and 3.11, replacing outdated software, upgrading to Flask 2, and fixing various technical issues with the platform.
