News for Debian developers

This wiki page collects small news that all developers should know but that are not worth a dedicated mail to debian-devel-announce. Follow the template "Example of news" and add your news below it. See /Help for more information on how to write entries. If you have any questions, please ask the publicity team or the the Debian English localisation mailing-list.

If you are able to post to debian-devel-announce (all Debian members can) and there are 5 or more items below, you might want to send out the news. To send out a new issue, you can use this helper script to generate the email version of this page.

FTBFS, a new UDD cgi script

A long time ago, I created a small page to track the current packages that FTBFS on ppc64el. It also showed if a package only FTBFS on ppc64el, or if it FTBFS on other arches as well.

Since last week, this page has been available as a UDD cgi script

  • it's quite faster,
  • and also gives results for any supported architecture (not only ppc64el)

Thanks to Mattia Rizzolo for the review and to Nyov for the python3-conversion.

Debian CI pipeline

On behalf the salsa-ci-team we would like to spread the word about the Continuous Integration pipeline we have created for Debian contributors.

The main idea is to have faster feedback when you are working in a package if it has the quality needed to be part of the Debian archive. The tests we got working so far, are the following:

  • Building the package from the source (only gbp is supported for now)
  • Lintian check
  • Reproducible build (Using reprotest)
  • piuparts
  • Autopkgtest

Please follow the README to enable CI in your packages.

New salsa tool in devscripts

devscripts 2.18.11 (experimental for now) includes a new tool named "salsa". This tool can be used by contributors and team owner to manage their repositories and user rights. salsa(1) manpage shows the full features. Some examples that speak for themselves:

  • contributors:

# Contribute in own namespace
$ salsa fork js-team/node-mongodb
# ... modification in new branch in a single commit
$ salsa mr

# Create Salsa project + configure project following team policy
#  + push local repo
$ salsa --conf-file +/js/salsa-policy.conf push_repo .
  • team maintainers:

$ salsa update_safe --all --group js-team --kgb --irc-channel debian-js --tagpending --desc

Teams that want to use it are encouraged to provide a salsa.conf. Of course contributions and bug report/fix are welcome !
