Bug#961930: ITP: pinball-table-gnu -- GNU Pinball table for emilia pinball
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Philippe Coval * Package name: pinball-table-gnu Version : 0.0.0 Upstream Author : Ben Asselstine , Philippe Coval * URL : https://github.com/rzr/pinball-table-gnu * License : GPL+ and Other free licences Programming Lang: C++ Description : GNU Pinball table for emilia pinball Extra table for emilia pinball already shipped into debian: https://packages.qa.debian.org/p/pinball.html To avoid license mess, extra tables are maintained separately: https://github.com/rzr/pinball/issues/4 As upstream developer and debian maintainer, and for developer convenience I already started to package it in upstream tree. Effort can also be tracked at: https://github.com/rzr/pinball-table-gnu/issues/3 Co-maintainers (ie debian-games) are also welcome, feel free to contact us here or un above link. Note, package is not yet released, I plan do it very soon. Then I will upload to mentors.debian.net, but I am looking for sponsorship. PS: pinball is orphaned too, I plan to adopt it too and release new upstream version too. Also the 1st extra table is in still NEW since 2020-05-01 : https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/pinball-table-hurd_0.0.20200312-1.html# Regards
Running autopkgtest on porter boxes: dd-autopkgtest
Hi, it's possible for DDs to build/test packages on porter boxes via dd-schroot-cmd, see https://dsa.debian.org/doc/schroot/. However, e.g. arm64 autopkgtest failures are RC bugs and so far, it was difficult to reproduce and debug those on the porter boxes, at least I was not aware of an easy way to run autopkgtest on those. During the Online MiniDebConf today I hacked a bit around, and (with some help from Antonio Terceiro) came up with the following proof-of-concept script: https://salsa.debian.org/mbanck/dd-autopkgtest/-/blob/master/dd-autopkgtest You can run this with a source package name on one of the porter boxes, like: ./dd-autopkgtest foo It will then (i) create a working directory with the name of the source package, (ii) bootstrap a schroot, (iii) install autopkgtest, the test dependencies and the binaries in the schroot and (iv) run autopkgtest. It will drop you in a shell if autopkgtest fails. The primary limitation is that you can only test binary packages that are in unstable already, because dd-schroot-cmd does not allow to install local packages. I have not extended the script for other distributions than unstable, but that should be possible. Bugs, merge requests, suggestions and comments welcome! Michael
