Line 35: Line 30:
Running piuparts is the easy, automated part and is supervised by Luk and Holger, who can su into the piupartss (slave) user.
piuparts-slave.py is run in a shared screen session and seldom needs interaction. The piupartss user needs to be able to run piuparts and thus can use sudo without restrictions.
If you are interested in contributing, that's great! Here's a list to hopefully get you started:
 * join [[piuparts/Development|development]] efforts. Every little pull request helps. Check the BTS for plenty of wishlist bugs to tackle.
 * [[https://piuparts.debian.org/bug_howto.html|file bugs]] based on piuparts.d.o runs!
 * improve the documentation, both these wiki pages and what's in GIT has been growing over the years and it's showing.
Line 38: Line 35:
The slave automatically starts the master, to reserve packages to process and to pass logfiles to the master.

Ideally all members of the Debian-QA group can su to the piupartsm user and process the logfiles - currently it's again only Luk and Holger. piupartsm has no special privileges. If you want to help, please join #debian-qa and say so there.

Twice a day, at 6 and 18 UTC, piuparts-reports.py is run as piupartsm by cron to generate the html output of the logs.

== Piuparts and PTS integration suggestion ==

In order for the PTS to be able to display piuparts testing status for a package, and link to its log file,
Piuparts could generate a set of static files that will be visible via http:

{{{
%s = source package name
%v = source package version
%p = piuparts version

/source/%s -> index page
/source/%s/%v -> a particular log
/source/%s/latest -> log for latest version
/source/%s/piuparts-%p/%v -> a particular log from a version of piuparts

similar for /binary-$ARCH/

/%s -> /source/%s

For PTS integration: one file with results for all source packages:
/results-per-source.txt
    %s pass $MATCHINGLOG
    %s fail $MATCHINGLOG
    %s fuzzy $URLto_stats_page ([http://piuparts.debian.org/lenny2squeeze/state-waiting-for-dependency-to-be-tested.html example page])

And really unknown, ie not listed in that file.

}}}
/!\ Problem: PTS is source package centered, piuparts binary package.

{{{

For Ubuntu development weather report (similar to PTS): a file with the following:
    Pass: %d
    Fail: %d

}}}

(See https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/developer-weather-report for the Ubuntu developer weather report.)

What is piuparts?

Description: .deb package installation, upgrading, and removal testing tool 
 piuparts tests that .deb packages (as used by Debian) handle
 installation, upgrading, and removal correctly. It does this by
 creating a minimal Debian installation in a chroot, and installing,
 upgrading, and removing packages in that environment, and comparing the
 state of the directory tree before and after. piuparts reports any
 files that have been added, removed, or modified during this process.
 .
 piuparts is meant as a quality assurance tool for people who create .deb
 packages to test them before they upload them to the Debian package archive.

piuparts.debian.org

piuparts is being run constantly on all suites of the main Debian archive, the results are made public on piuparts.debian.org. The piuparts.debian.org setup is documented and maintained in GIT, plus there is also an FAQ available.

Documentation

piuparts itself has a README and a manpage - read those before reading the piuparts/HowTos.
