Hello, This is my report for the month of July. The preparation for DebConf and the event itself has taken most of the month of July so I am combining these weeks together. The most important change to autodeb that was made during this period was the implementation of automated backports. ################## ## Autodeb code ## ################## The most important change of the month is that we now generate backports. In the past, we would only update packages to new upstream versions. Now, we attempt to backport packages in testing to stable and distribute the resulting backports in repositories. I currently get a 45% success rate for backports (based on 1k jobs). autodeb-worker ============== - generate package upgrades in the "autodeb" distribution instead of unstable autodeb-master ============== - document the package upgrade repositories and how to use it with apt preferences - adapt repositories to the "autodeb" distribution - removed unused successful builds endpoint - **implement backports**: + detect backport candidates with the ftp-masters api + host the backports in a repository + implement backports in the web interface infrastructure ============== - Install aptly-api from stretch-backports - Setup the build environement for backports ############# ## DebConf ## ############# I have spent a good amount of time to prepare my slides for DebConf. On July 31st, I have gave a talk about autodeb: - https://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2018/DebConf18/2018-07-31/autodeb-automatic-packages-for-everythin.webm I have collected a lot of feedback from people that came to talk to me after the talk and I have had interesting discussions. There are some people that began testing and opened a couple of issues: - https://salsa.debian.org/autodeb-team/autodeb/issues/10 - https://salsa.debian.org/autodeb-team/autodeb/issues/9 - https://salsa.debian.org/autodeb-team/autodeb/issues/8 - https://salsa.debian.org/autodeb-team/autodeb/merge_requests/3 Cheers, -- Alexandre Viau aviau@debian.org
