Hi, for quite a while I have been scheduling binNMUs according to the pkg-haskell-debcheck.hs program (which is a Haskell reimplementation of pkg-haskell-debcheck.py written by me in 2009, which is inspired by debian-ocaml-status.py written by Stefano Zacchiroli), but I wasn’t really satisfied. It would give false positive and did useless stuff (like calculating depwaits, which we do not need anymore due to dose-debcheck support in wanna-build). I always meant to replace it by something cleaner and more tailored to our use case with ABI-hash-encoded virtual packages. But then I didn’t want to re-invent the wheel, so I first wanted to talk to the Ocaml guys and ask if they happen to have such a tool already. Today, I did that, and they do not. So I created the wheel I imagined. It reads the packages file (from sid + buildd-sid) and figures out what packages need to be binNMUed. It then checks with wanna-build to see which were already scheduled, or where there are failing builds¹, and filters them out. The result is ready to be copy’n’pasted into wb on wuiet (if you have the proper permission). To make the current status easily checkable I am running the program every four hours on paradis and you can check the status at https://people.debian.org/~nomeata/binNMUs-haskell.txt If there are commands that are not commented out, then feel free to nudge me to schedule them. If I’m not available, ask release@debian.org to run (the equivalent of) $ GET https://people.debian.org/~nomeata/binNMUs-haskell.txt | wb I also took the liberty of running it with a hopefully correct virtual package detection regex for Ocaml; the result (which is at this moment more interesting than the Haskell result) is at https://people.debian.org/~nomeata/binNMUs-ocaml.txt @Mehdi: Is this correct? Is it clear what it says? Is it useful? To run locally, $ git clone git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/pkg-haskell/tools and compile with $ ghc --make binNMUs and run with $ ./binNMUs --help (yes, it really has proper command line flags with help – another improvement over the old one). I hope this reduces the bus factor in the Debian Haskell Group, and make it a bit more transparent about what is going on. I also hope that it will identify transition issues (such as freebsd-buildds running out of diskspace) quicker. Greetings from Portland, Joachim ¹ If I had that a few weeks earlier, I would have finished the current transition by then. PS: The script is relatively slow. According to a profile run, most of the time is spent in parsing the dependency relations, where I use the “debian” Haskell package. If someone feels like optimizing code: That would be useful. Maybe it can be made more lazy. As I am extracting only the package name, and no version ranges or dependency restrictions, we could skip some work here. -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner Debian Developer nomeata@debian.org | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: F0FBF51F JID: nomeata@joachim-breitner.de | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata
