Bug#743191: Jenkings job for DHG’s all-packages



Hi Joachim,

sorry that it took me so long for the initial reply. If nothing comes in the 
way, followup replies will be *much* faster.

I'd be very happy to have this running on jenkins.d.n *and* you 
supplying+maintaining the needed job configuration to do so :-)

There are two reasonable good examples for this, which you can use as a base. 
git clone ssh://git.debian.org/git/qa/jenkins.debian.net.git and then have a 
look at job-cfg/lintian-tests.yaml and job-cfg/rebootstrap.yaml - they both 
run commands in a (throwaway) chroot, the lintian jobs also install the build-
depends from debian/control, but you could equally run "apt-get install foo" 
in a custom script.
 
I'd *really really* would like you to prepare a git repo with some branch from 
which I could pull. That's *way* better than me writing this job definition 
and updating based on your descriptions. Just send me pull requests and I 
happily merge them. Also and esp. to fix trivial things :)

easy, see the shell command in those yaml files

and then put the following in one script, or maybe not...

>  * Run "cabal update"

what its this update used for? or asked differently, shouldn't I install the 
darcs plugin for jenkins and then your job could checkout that darcs repo like 
the other jobs checkout their git repo?

the job will fail automatically if the exit code aint 0. You can also use 
logparser rules (see ./logparser in the jenkins.d.n git repo) to make the job 
fail (or become "unstable", which is in between failure+ok) based on parsed 
output.

see above. please tweak it yourself :)

I hope this is a good start, if not, please do ask. Also feel free to ask on 
#debian-qa, there are a lot of jenkins.d.n discussions atm :)

I think ruby is installed yes. But inside the chroot you are root or you could 
do as lintian-tests.yaml does and use build-depends and use "debuild runtests"
