Today debci runs in batch mode, reading the Source index from the repository, detecting which packages need a test run (what includes packages with new versions), and then running running the tests for all packages in the batch that need a test run. The support for distributed setups in debci in being worked on (thus separating putting packages to a queue from actually running their tests). When it's ready, we can implement a separate daemon that will listen to fedmsg¹ and enqueue packages right away when they are uploaded. ¹ https://wiki.debian.org/FedMsg Of course, from there we would also need an APT repository from where to actually get the uploaded packages. I remember a discussion about turning the incoming location into a proper APT repository, but I don't know in which stage that effort is. -- Antonio Terceiro <terceiro@debian.org>
