Using Debusine to pre-test your unstable uploads

Debusine can build and run tests against your Debian uploads before sending them to the Debian archive. It can build your upload on multiple architectures and run the autopkgtests of your reverse dependencies against these builds. Only once everything has passed will your upload continue to Debian.

You can use this to pre-test your uploads to unstable, giving you confidence that your uploads will be able to migrate to testing. This is very useful during the freeze.

This talk is aimed at a broad audience of Debian contributors. We’ll tell you what debusine is, if you haven’t heard about it. For those who have, we’ll show you some of the features we’ve implemented in the last year, and how you can use them to do QA work in Debian right now. Including dput-ng integration, and scaling into clouds.

Debusine is a general-purpose software factory tailored to the needs of a Debian-based distribution. It manages the scheduling and distribution of tasks to distributed worker machines. It’s free software, implemented in Python, and packaged in the Debian archive.

Debusine Workflow BoF

Discussion about what workflows would be useful to build out in Debusine, to support Debian development.

This BoF is aimed at Debian contributors who have experience with Debian’s infrastructure and are interested in recreating and/or extending it in Debusine.

Community governance and curation

I would like to bring together people with all sort of experiences in dealing with social aspects of Debian and Debian teams, to try to:

• figure of what works and what doesn’t in our social governance
• see if there are concrete walkable steps we can take from here, that may be preferable to doing nothing

Debian Contributors BoF

Everyone interested in the Debian Contributors service at contributors.debian.org can join in a discussion about how it works, the current status and how it can be improved.

New Members BoF

Debian Account Managers, New Member Front Desk members, Application Managers, Applicants and everyone interested can join in a discussion about how the New Member process works and how it can be made better.
