[opensuse-buildservice] Using the Open build service as part of the Debian Mentors process
Hi Open Build Service folks, I'm working on setting up some new web software for Debian packaging contributors. I heard about the Open Build Service here at the Desktop Summit, and I wondered: Can we programmatically upload prospective Debian contributors' source packages to the Open Build Service, have OBS do a package build, and then run package quality tests on the resulting *.deb files? Right now, we don't actually *compile* Debian contributors' source packages -- they just upload them to http://expo.debian.net/. It would be really great to add some code to that website that would use OBS to build the packages -- by doing that, we can show the package contributors if their packages build properly! So this has two parts: First, is it technically posssible? And second, is this a use that would be okay? Thanks, -- Asheesh. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

I think yes, it is technically possible. Are you thinking of setting up your own instance of the OBS or using the openSUSE BS? Regards, Tejas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

I was aiming to use the openSUSE BS due to laziness. (-; (-:, -- Asheesh. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

We don't have a real QA interface yet, however this is something we plan for the future (most likely next year). But you can of course run anything as part of a package build or installation.

Technically not really a problem IMHO. Resource wise it may become one. But we can handle this via priorisation. And in worst case you may need to install your own instance. However, in an ideal world, we would work together, maintaining sources and patches at the same time for debian and openSUSE. That is actually the goal what we have to share workforces. And esp. frozen packages get usually the same (security) updates anyway .... bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

Sounds good. I'll start investigating the APIs, and see if this is workable for us! Probably it'll take 1-6 months before anything comes of this, so don't get your hopes up immediately.
