About Debexpo

Debexpo is a web app to make it easier to collaborate on package review.

  • It is a free software web app written in Python and Turbogears. It has an automated test suite.

  • It is hosted on alioth.debian.org.

  • The goal is to replace the current software at mentors.debian.net, which is unmaintained.

Current state

Code status: alpha

  • It is not quite ready for the debian-mentors list; the most pressing missing feature is support for dpkg-source format version 3. The next most pressing issue is that one must store a plaintext password in your user's dput config file.

Deployment status: still moving and redeploying

You can read the Debexpo/Deployment documentation.

Current plan

  • Move the bug tracker to Alioth
  • Maybe we should just throw away the old data, and not bother migrating it? If so we're done with the bug tracker move.
  • Document the way the deployment works
  • Announce this page to the debian-mentors list

Code

Project history

Here is a quick summary:

  • 2008: Johnny Lamb creates most of the code during Summer of Code. It's not quite finished and deployed.
  • 2009-2010: There are several attempts to finish and deploy debexpo. http://expo.debian.net/ is live, running on Asheesh's personal server. Due to a natural disaster, the server is temporarily switched offline.

  • April 2011: Asheesh, with the help of spang + <http://xvm.mit.edu/>, puts an instance of debexpo on the web.
