Hey Travis [1] is now [2] checking [3] everything we check for via Tarmac. If you write code around checkbox, you should know about this system from now on.
Travis runs all tests on each branch that we push to [email protected]:checkbox/checkbox.git (no other triggers are needed) in around three minutes, giving everyone live feedback about what's going on with their branches. If you push to the shared repository no extra setup is needed. If you're pushing to your personal fork you first have to sign into Travis using your Github account and tick the checkbox/switch next to your fork name. This is a one time-operation. Using personal forks has the added advantage of not having a flat name space for branches so perhaps that's the way to go. All landings should be still done via Launchpad. Using Travis is optional but has many advantages: - live testing - instant email notification on failures - 2nd line of defence - native git access to all your branches (collaboration and code review are easier) - IRC notifications in #checkbox - anything that lands to lp:checkbox on launchpad is migrated and pushed to git://github.com/checkbox/checkbox.git (to launchpad/+upstream branch). This is also tested so if you break and silently land something, we'll know :-) - Travis can replace all our manual release work going forward (all release tasks can happen by pushing a tag to master) so it's better to get used to it :-) Please use this functionality and post feedback here. It should make everyone's life a lot better. NOTE: Currently Travis checks are a little bit stronger than our Tarmac checks. This only affects new-style validation which is still disabled in tarmac. I will enable it shortly. NOTE: The only exception that I didn't deem worth while adding was builds of the old checkbox-gui C++ code base (it's possible, just not something I wanted to do at this time).
