Hi, here's a project idea from me: a test suite for dak, the software managing the Debian archive. I wanted to work on it for some time, but never got to it.
Description: The software managing Debian's archive (ftp.debian.org) currently has no test suite. This means there is no automated way to check that changes don't introduce regressions. The goal of this project is to develop a framework for running tests and implementing such tests. To make sure tests are repeatable, they should be run in a clean installation. So automatically setting up an installation might also be a required part of the project. Mentor: I would mentor this project, but am not sure how much time I will have this summer. Contact: mail: [email protected] [email protected] irc: ansgar on OFTC or freenode #debian-ftp on OFTC Desirable skills: - Python, PostgreSQL - Creating Debian packages - You might want to try installing dak, see setup/README in [1].
