Description: .deb package installation, upgrading, and removal testing tool 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.

= How piuparts is setup on piuparts.debian.org =

Running piuparts is the boring, automated part and is supervised by Luk and Holger, who can su into the piupartss (slave) user.
piuparts-slave 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.

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 is run as piupartsm by cron to generate the html output of the logs.

= Piuparts and PTS integration suggestion =

/!\ this specification has been implemented but a simpler one. This notes are kept here for reference and shall be deleted soon.

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

/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/squeeze/state-waiting-for-dependency-to-be-tested.html example page])

And really unknown, ie not listed in that file.


The earlier idea of having the piuparts version included there has been overthrown: on new tests, the successful test shall be reseted. The version is in the log anyway :)

}}}

{{{

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.)

piuparts is being run constantly on all suites of the main Debian archive, the results are made public on piuparts.debian.org.

piuparts itself has a README_1st and a manpage, for the piuparts.debian.org setup there is also an FAQ available.
