my target is start to contribute with the project.
Nice, welcome.
In the first step apt-get build-dep . The terminal return a problem, the autopkgtest is 5.28 and is necessary 5.29.
The page you reference above has this: """If that fails with a complaint that any package it not recent enough, then you probably need to enable the backports repository and install those packages from there (replace <stable> with the current Debian stable release codename, and <PACKAGE> with the package you want to install):
"""I note that backports has 5.29~bpo12+1, which is indeed < 5.29, but that's a bug from our side; the build depends should have "<= 5.29~~" or something to ensure that that backports version is good enough. On top of that, we really should update bpo, as testing already has 5.32.
So, I would like to know what is the better version of Debian to help the project? Stable? Unstable? In this moment I use the stable but no problem that if I need change to stable.
Stable should just work, our workers run stable too with some ci related packages from unstable (autopkgtest, autodep8, debci-*). Personally I have a system running testing.
I would like to take advantage, what tools do you use to develop, is VIM? With any specific plugin?
I think terceiro uses vim, I use emacs. And I have never searched for plugins but they probably make your life a lot nicer. I recently started to use spyder for python related work again, but I still need to figure out how to have that work for me.
Another question, how do you debug?
I'm not very good at doing that in Python. breakpoint() and print() are my friends, but (particularly with spyder) you should be able to do that a lot better. Ruby based code I typically leave to terceiro, who I've seen smarter things than I write here.
Last question, I saw that there are some open issues, would you suggest something to start with? I've been developing for a while, but with Ruby it will be the first time, I've been studying, but only theoretical knowledge for now and I want to put it into practice in this project.
For debci related issues (that's mostly Ruby), we have the newcomer tag: https://salsa.debian.org/groups/ci-team/-/issues/?sort=created_date&state=opened&label_name%5B%5D=newcomer&first_page_size=100If you're more into Python, autopkgtest might be more of interest, but the issues there are harder and we don't have a good overview of newcomer bugs.
