ToDo for jenkins.debian.net =========================== :Author: Holger Levsen :Authorinitials: holger :EMail: holger@layer-acht.org :Status: in progress :lang: en :Doctype: article :Licence: GPLv2 == About jenkins.debian.net See link:http://jenkins.debian.net/userContent/about.html["about jenkins.debian.net"]. == General ToDo * keep git+svn urls, and use commit hooks. also better for test setups of this setup as well as overall stability. ** create d-i_svn_trigger job to trigger sub-set jobs (like manual) ** create d-i git hooks * get rid of some reduncacy in job-cfg/*.yaml ** FIXME: sometimes true and some True used in yaml files * proper git repo url, outside users/holger ** same for /srv/jenkins.debian.net-scm-sync.git * fully automate backup and backup /var/lib/jenkins/jobs /var/lib/munin /var/log /root/ too * try awstats * put kgb-client.conf in git and sed passwords from filesystem into it... * push jenkins munin plugins upstream * rgrep for ftp.de and put this into a config file. and then put other stuff in that config file, like webserver for d-i preseeding. etc. * use these plugins to make sure jenkins is never blocked too badly: ** https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Priority+Sorter+Plugin ** https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Locks+and+Latches+plugin or https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Throttle+Concurrent+Builds+Plugin ** https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Heavy+Job+Plugin == Debian Packaging related * /usr/sbin/jenkins.debian.net-setup needs to be written * what update-j.d.n.sh does, needs to be put elsewhere... * debian/copyright is incorrect about some licenses: a.) the profitbricks+debian+jenkins logos b.) the preseeding files * switch to scm trigger instead of scm pulling before releasing this as 0.1... === jenkins-job-builder related * support for gitweb in jobs ** needs clean merge of my patches to jenkins-job-builder first... * cleanup my patches (eg add documentation) and send pull requests on github: ** publisher:logparse ** publisher:htmlpublisher ** publisher:imagegallery ** svn:scm ** properties: sidebar * d-i and chroot housekeeping jobs should be kept 365 days == Improve existing tests === d-i_manual* * svn:trunk/manual/po triggers the full build, should trigger language specific builds. * svn:trunk/manual is all thats needed, not whole svn:trunk * inform translators (and debian-boot for the package) === d-i_build* * run scripts/digress/ ? * bubulle wrote: "Another interesting target would be d-i builds *including non uploaded packages* (something like "d-i from git repositories" images). That would in some way require to create a quite specific image, with all udebs (while netboot only has udebs needed before one gets a working network setup). * build branches? (which?) * inform debian-boot@ ? === chroot-installation_* * inform debian-devel@ * "Hash Sum Mismatch" problem with squid, see http://jenkins.debian.net/job/chroot-installation_squeeze_install_developer_upgrade_to_wheezy/13/console ** pere says this is supposed to be fixed in squid3 * chroot-installation: only trigger (=really run) jobs if available+used packages have changed (save packages in db and compare) ---- h01ger: how about all of the blends? pabs, if you could give me concrete (meta-)package names to install, that would be great+very helpful for ^education* and ^debian-edu* i can find them myself h01ger: hmm, doesn't seem to be easy to find that list, but here are a few: ezgo-* med-* science-* junior-* gis-* ---- === webchecks* * inform debian-www@ === g-i-installation_*: more languages * babelbox.git has a nice langlist * $name-preseed.base -> sed .cfg (LANG) * for edu: pick LANG from predefined list at random - if last build was not successful or unstable fall back to English * for d-i: create jobs for something like Tamil, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, some Arabic and maybe some more Indian languages would be sufficient ** these jobs would not need to do an install, just booting them in rescue mode is probably enough general * test kfreebsd * test moar images: debian wheezy+sid cd and dvd images too and use lxde cd for installing lxde + etc * use jigdo to download images - but no edu jigdo images. * still havent got http://www.os-autoinst.org/ out of my mind * new job type: build complete image on every commit and test it with g-i === Test Debian live * daily build from sid * test live images from http://live.debian.net/cdimage/release/current-next and .../current == Add more tests === Test more Debian Edu related things * manual - by language and full * build a cd-image from all edu packages (even (and especially) UNRELEASED ones and do a g-i-installation test with it ** this probably better is done after the edu packages has been switched to git and when edu cd are (also?) build on pettersson.d.o ** also because it's probably better to do this with unmodified d-i first :-) * test minimal and sugar profile, as well as gnome and lxde === Test tasks: * test installations with (at least) more language tasks enabled, though tasksel doesn't work like this: ---- how do i install a task outside d-i? what interesting tasks are there? tasksel install h01ger: http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/tasksel ---- Help explaining how to test tasks (ie all the language tasks) very much welcome! === Tests using autopkgtest * see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomatedTesting and http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/auto-pkg-test.html * finding packages with autopkgtests: http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2012/11/msg00012.html ** this only lists a few packages, so a very first test could be to compare this list against this: `wget -q http://http.debian.net/debian/dists/unstable/main/Contents-source.gz -O- | zgrep -m1 -E '^debian/tests/control\s'`, make a job out of it and make it UNSTABLE if the diff is non-zero. And as a second step, run those tests... * also see http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep8/ * also from that thread on debian-qa@l.d.o: ---- Subject: Re: automated tests or builds for d-i From: Martin Pitt Stefano Zacchiroli [2012-11-04 14:51 +0100]: > AFAIK in Ubuntu they've glue code that hooks autopkgtest tests into > jenkins.

Indeed, our goal is to get a lot more of them. We currently have some 20 [1], but at the last UDS we had a little competition which got us another 11 [2], which we'll upload and forward to Debian in the next days. Our scripts for creating VMs, running the tests in those, and the Jenkins integration are in "bzr branch lp:auto-package-testing", which you can browse at [3]. In the doc/ directory there is documentation how the Jenkins integration works. I can't say much about it I'm afraid, as I have never touched a Jenkins job so far; this has been created by Jean-Baptiste Lallement (in CC:); he's on holiday for the next week, though. Please let me know if this is useful. I can poke at the jobs in our actual Jenkins instance (jenkins.qa.u.c. is just a readonly public mirror) if you need to know something specific, but we try to avoid having any manual job configuration; these are all autogenerated through scripts through python-jenkins.
