In this issue: + FTBFS, a new UDD cgi script + Debian CI pipeline + New salsa tool in devscripts + lintian-brush + New pkg-js-tools packages FTBFS, a new UDD cgi script --------------------------- A long time ago, I created a small page to track the current packages that FTBFS on ppc64el. It also showed if a package only FTBFS on ppc64el, or if it FTBFS on other arches as well. Recently, this page has become available as a UDD cgi script[1]. It is quite faster and also gives results for any supported architecture (not only ppc64el). Thanks to Mattia Rizzolo for the review and to Nyov for the python3-conversion. -- Erwan Prioul <erwan@linux.ibm.com> [1] https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/ftbfs.cgi Debian CI pipeline ------------------ On behalf the salsa-ci-team we would like to spread the word about the Continuous Integration pipeline we have created for Debian contributors. The main idea is to have faster feedback when you are working in a package if it has the quality needed to be part of the Debian archive. The tests we got working so far, are the following: * Building the package from the source (only gbp is supported for now) * Lintian check * Reproducible build (Using reprotest) * piuparts * Autopkgtest Please follow the README[2] to enable CI in your packages. -- Agustin Henze <tin@debian.org> [2] https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/blob/master/README.md New salsa tool in devscripts ---------------------------- devscripts 2.19.1 includes a new tool named "salsa". This tool can be used by contributors and team maintainers to manage their repositories and user rights. '''salsa(1)''' manpage shows the full features. Some examples that speak for themselves: * contributors: # Contribute in own namespace $ salsa fork js-team/node-mongodb # ... modification in a new branch in a single commit $ salsa mr # Create Salsa project + configure project following team policy # + push local repo $ salsa --conf-file +/js/salsa-policy.conf push_repo . * team maintainers: $ salsa update_safe --all --group js-team --kgb --irc-channel debian-js --tagpending --desc # Or simply $ salsa --conf-file +/js/salsa.conf update_safe --all Teams that want to use it are encouraged to provide a salsa.conf. Of course contributions and bug reports/fixes are welcome ! -- Xavier Guimard <yadd@debian.org> lintian-brush ------------- lintian-brush[3] is a new tool that can automatically fix more than 30 common lintian issues in packages maintained in a Git repository. To use it, install the package and simply run: $ lintian-brush in the top-level of your (version-controlled) Debian package. For more details, see its README file[4] and the blog post announcing it[5]. -- Jelmer Vernooij <jelmer@debian.org> [3] https://packages.debian.org/lintian-brush [4] https://salsa.debian.org/jelmer/lintian-brush/blob/master/README.md [5] https://www.jelmer.uk/lintian-brush-intro.html New pkg-js-tools packages ------------------------- Two new packages are provided to help maintaining nodejs packages: * pkg-js-tools: provides a new "`dh --with nodejs`" that launches automatically a "`node -e 'require(".")'`" test and launches customized test "`debian/tests/pkg-js/test`" if exists. * pkg-js-autopkgtest: added in autodep8, it launch automatically the same 2 tests on installed files. Simply add "`Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-nodejs`" in `debian/control`. See https://salsa.debian.org/js-team/pkg-js-tools#readme for more. -- Xavier Guimard <yadd@debian.org> -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
