Hi, I've been playing around with the installable patchbot code Robert put up at http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/12486 . Something I'm a bit confused about is how the patchbot decides what color circle to display on a trac ticket page, now that there are multiple patchbot clients rather than a single one.
Take for example #11310. I just forcibly ran my patchbot on this ticket. It's never been set to needs_review before so I guess it never got tested by any other patchbots automatically. Thus my patchbot's result (ApplyFailed) is the only patchbot result known for that ticket. Yet the ticket's status remains "gray circle", which I guess means "not yet tested". Why? Is it because I'm running a development version and not a stable version? It seems to me like the most natural way to determine the overall status of the ticket is to find the latest version of Sage on which the ticket has been patchbot-tested, and then determine the overall status from the results of tests on that version of Sage only. In fact, I thought that's exactly what the patchbot does, but this ticket seems to demonstrate otherwise. The pages in question: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/11310 http://patchbot.sagemath.org/ticket/11310/ I figured I'd ask here since there are not too many people CC'd to #12486 and there is probably some amount of patchbot-related lore floating around sage-devel... -Keshav ---- Join us in #sagemath on irc.freenode.net ! -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
