Hi, everyone. |
| 2 |
|

I'd like to make a short announcement that in the last few days I've |
| 4 |
been using my little free time to hack on my CI scripts, and they had |
| 5 |
a few major improvements. Most notably: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
1. pkgcheck now checks for outdated Manifests. In other words, |
| 8 |
gentoo-ci will most likely complain about missing or extraneous |
| 9 |
Manifest entries before Infra does, and pull request checks should |
| 10 |
complain loudly about them before the PRs are merged. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
2. The scripts use XML output of pkgcheck and group issues by packages, |
| 13 |
rather than grepping text output for failure indications |
| 14 |
and considering successive lines a single failure. Which means better |
| 15 |
output, better permalinks, better navigation and a completely new ugly |
| 16 |
UI. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
3. Most of the persisting issues (like deprecations) are skipped now, |
| 19 |
and all the output fits on one page. And that page is usually easier on |
| 20 |
the browser than each of the splits were. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
4. gentoo-ci compares previous check results correctly, and splits |
| 23 |
the output into three groups: new issues, previous issues and fixes |
| 24 |
issues. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
5. gentoo-ci bisects on new issues, pinpoints the exact commit |
| 27 |
introducing the failure and CCs both the author and the committer. |
| 28 |
In other words, does the hard work for me and does it more efficiently. |
| 29 |
It also has nice bisect caching support which makes bisecting a number |
| 30 |
of issues caused by the same commit very fast. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
6. pull-request checks now distinguish between issues introduced by PR |
| 33 |
and carried over from ::gentoo. Not that you should ignore the latter |
| 34 |
entirely since they may hide additional issues from PR. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Most of this fun stuff came from a simple obvious thing that only |
| 37 |
recently occurred to me: I don't have to run a full pkgcheck for |
| 38 |
bisecting! I just need to check the packages that are failing |
| 39 |
in the most recent commit! |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Of course, the whole thing is open source: |

Enjoy! |
