Hi Paul,

I've scheduled tests of all OCaml packages that provide tests (there
are 86 of them). I did not specify any priority, I hope that's fine.
That's fine for now. I guess you submitted via pasting the json you
created in the self-service.
Indeed.
You get priority 10 that way by default.
Did you we the service also has an API [1] you can use? The json for it
is similar and it has a priority parameter. (@terceiro: does the
self-service have an undocumented priority parameter, or is it really
absent)?
I am aware of the API, but have not yet integrated it into my workflow.
Of course the cool thing you can do (and why I pointed you at britney2)
is that you can also test for reverse (test) dependencies and check that
*they* still work with the rebuild packages. Due to the way we do
rebuilds in the archive (binNMU instead of NMU) we don't do those tests
there (bug #944458), so it currently has added value if you could
already check. To be clear, I'm not asking you to do it, I'm making you
aware of these things, such that you can take it along if you so wish.
I've added packages that declare rebuilt packages in their
testsuite-triggers field. That makes a total of 104 packages.
I've scheduled those packages, and it revealed 5 failures:
- bdebstrap: seems unrelated to OCaml (rather to Python I'd say)
- coq-unimath: expected (not rebuilt because of resource exhaustion)
- frama-c: to be investigated
- ocaml-rope: to be investigated
- opam: already investigated (see my previous mail)
PS: one other idea I'm having. There are multiple teams doing these kind
of rebuilds and archive creation; does each have their own tools and
does it their own way, I guess so? Has anybody ever tried to have the
teams join forces? ruby, perl, python and ocaml I already know of. (I
fear I'm hearing PPA/bicksheds/debusine resonating in my question).
I guess so, too. There is also (at least) haskell.
I've been working on my transition scripts since at least 2012 (first
upload of ben to Debian). At that time, there was no tool suitable to
prepare OCaml transitions with its idiosyncrasies. Since them, I
incrementally improve them at each OCaml transition.
I tried to make my scripts generic:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/ben/-/tree/master/examples/transition-scripts
If anybody wants to use them in another context, I can help. But it
would seem incongruous to me to promote my own tools to other circles
without knowing their needs and workflows.
Cheers,
