Newcomers project: DPMT/PAPT pristine-tar verification
Hello,
i would like to propose a project to make sure our teams (DPMT/PAPT)
repos are using pristine-tar properly.
The checks i have in mind for now, are:
* pristine-tar branch must exist, if not -> it's a bug
* pristine-tar + upstream branch must produce the same tarball as
downloaded from the archive, if not -> it's a bug
* bonus point: fix the repo if it doesn't generate the right tarball
and or the branch is missing.
* bonus point: make this into a service that runs regularly (not
strictly necessary to be limited to us)
i guess we should have a brief discussion about additional checks
and/or procedures before "assigning" it to a volunteer. let's say up
to 2 weeks of discussion, and during the same period volunteers can
nominate themselves.
I marked this project as newcomers as it doesn't require to be a DD/DM
to work on it, you just need a salsa account and access to our teams.
a handy tool to retrieve all our repos is at
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/tools/python-modules
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/tools/python-apps
that contains a config file for `mr` and a `checkout` script to fetch
the repos registered in that config file.
Please feel free to discuss this project now :)
Regards,
