ToDo for jenkins.debian.net
===========================
:Author:           Holger Levsen
:Authorinitials:   holger
:EMail:            holger@layer-acht.org
:Status:           in progress
:lang:             en
:Doctype:          article

== 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.
* 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

== 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...
* get rid of some reduncacy in job-cfg/*.yaml 
* add documentation for jenkins-job-builder and send pull requests on github:
** publisher:logparse
** publisher:htmlpublisher
** svn:scm
** properties: sidebar

== 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)

----
<pabs> h01ger: how about all of the blends?
<h01ger> pabs, if you could give me concrete (meta-)package names to install, that would be great+very helpful
<h01ger> for ^education* and ^debian-edu* i can find them myself
<pabs> 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 lanages

* 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

post-install

* boot system
** scp -r vm:/var/log/ results/log
** login graphically
** run vim in xterm
** run emacs in xterm
** run iceweasel www.debian.org / www.skolelinux.org
** shutdown as user

general

* use jigdo to download images - but no edu jigdo images.
* use https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Image+Gallery+Plugin
* still havent got http://www.os-autoinst.org/ out of my mind

== 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 tasks:

* test installations with (at least) more language tasks enabled, though tasksel doesn't work like this:

----
<h01ger> how do i install a task outside d-i?
<h01ger> what interesting tasks are there?
<jcristau> tasksel install <task>
<daemonkeeper> 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:

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.

=== Test co-installability

----
<jwilk> Install everything with priority >= optional? These packages are not supposed to conflict with each other. </wishful-thinking>
<h01ger> jwilk, there are tools to detect these package sets just based on debian/control information. no need to test this every day by installing them :)
<h01ger> running these tools daily OTOH...
