general info

piuparts runs on piuparts.cs.helsinki.fi aka piatti.debian.org and just like lintian and linda should be run on every developer machine before uploading :)

piuparts logs (currently outdated) are available at [http://piatti.debian.org http://piatti.debian.org]

#debian-qa is the irc-channel to coordinate work on irc, piuparts-devel is the project name on alioth.

how to run piuparts on piatti

the piuparts stuff is partly in the piupartsm account (master end, including debmirroring), and partly in the piuartss account (the slave, which actually runs piuparts)

run piuparts-slave.py as piupartss and watch it run via screen. the slave starts the master when it needs it, you don't need to start it manually

If you want to help, please don't bother liw, h01ger has access too and you should bother him.

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

documentation

split this wiki page into subpages, so that the piuparts documentation can be mainained in the wiki, by exporting as docbook.
