Package: autopkgtest Version: 5.31.2 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream While implementing support for autopkgtest in Debusine [0], we initially started with very simplistic parsing of the summary file [1]:
[0]: https://freexian-team.pages.debian.net/debusine/ [1]: https://salsa.debian.org/freexian-team/debusine/-/blob/d4781041c80dcd78e1cc6dfead6e5e349b11fb1c/debusine/tasks/autopkgtest.py#L195-236 In error conditions, it turns out to be more complex, the summary file doesn't just contain test names and status results, but can also contain somewhat arbitrary error messages. We added support for them by looking for lines beginning with "[a-z ]+: " [2] [2]: https://salsa.debian.org/freexian-team/debusine/-/merge_requests/410 It would be great if you could provide a specification for this file format, so tools like Debusine can have some confidence that they're parsing it correctly. We'd obviously also appreciate any input you have on our approaches here. Thank you, Stefano
