Wishing good luck for your exams!
For the sake of enabling anybody to work autonomously on autopkgtests
I'm now running a cron job to update the list of packages maintained by
the Debian Med team that has no autopkgtest yet (and has no tag to be a
graphical user application which makes writing autopkgtests hard enough
to delay this for the future). The list is available here:
https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/community/helper-scripts/-/blob/master/debian-med-tests.txt
It is created by a script[1] which is called twice a day and updates the
Git repository. The text file contains a column "Tasks" which names the
Blend tasks of the Debian Med project. So people who are not
comfortable with medical imaging should probably avoid tasks "imaging*".
The list is sorted according to the vote field of popcon reflecting the
real usage of the package. I excluded all those packages that are just
equiped with an autopkgtest.
Since I once do this automatic quere I added another list
https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/community/helper-scripts/-/blob/master/outdated_med-packages.txt
which is created by the according script[2]. Every developer is kindly
invited to clone the according repository and run the script
https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/routine-update/-/blob/master/routine-update
(packaging in progress - thanks to Michael Crusoe - I'd like so see more
testing first). By using this script a lot of routine to upgrade a
package is done automatically and I'd love if more people would test it.
Kind regards
Andreas.
