Re: Autobuilder for extras repository public beta
Hi all, Sorry for replying on my own mail, but I really need your input. This project is a community project and we didn't get too much input and testing from the community. If the community doesn't test and give feedback this process won't succeed. It would be a shame to move this project forward without your input and have the whole community complain about it, once this goes live. People seemed to complain about Nokia doing things without community feedback in the past, it would be a shame if we'd have to ask them to do this here too because of lack of community interest. Let's try to make this work and help us with testing! Feel free to contact me about it any time. - Niels On Fri, April 25, 2008 17:36, Niels Breet wrote: Hi all, A while ago we discussed the idea of an autobuilder for the extras repository.

Please give it a try and tell us your results. - What does the autobuilder do? The autobuilder takes a source package from the incoming queue and tries to build it in a fresh environment. The builder fetches all dependencies from the extras-devel repository. If it can't find the dependency in extras-devel, it will fail and send a mail to the extras-cauldron-builds list.

Instructions for the builder can be found at here[3]. The builder only handles building one package at a time. If you have dependencies that are not present in the extras-devel repository, please upload these first. - web-based assistant We have also created a web-based assistant[4] to help you with requesting rights to upload and creating/uploading of source packages.

You can move your packages from extras-devel to extras with the promotion interface[5]. Instructions for the promotion interface can be found here.[6] We would like to invite all developers to take a look at the autobuilder and promotion interface and try it out.
