I now have built an (opt-in) system which fetches the packages built by this into your upload area and triggers calm to process them, which I'm looking for a volunteer to test.

I'd be willing to give it a try the next time I have something to upload.  I'm actually almost ready for a test release of doxygen. Unfortunately, the 32-bit scallywag build of doxygen consistently fails with an ld crash, even though I can build it locally.  So I can't use it for this test.

How does the opt-in process work?  Is it per package?  Is it easy to opt-out again temporarily?

We can arrange the details however you like. A specific package might be a good idea for a first try.

Only pushes to master are considered. You can opt-out by adding 'SCALLYWAG=nodeploy' to the cygport.

Currently, these packages are built using 'cygport all-test', and so will always be marked test:

One possible issue is that a git commit doesn't have to change VERSION or RELEASE, so this can build packages which are then immediately rejected by calm, as that PVR already exists.

Does calm delete them after rejecting them or does the maintainer have to do that?

I've actually recently made a change to calm so that packages rejected as duplicates of existing PVR are discarded rather than retained, as this was just an inconvenience with no benefit.

I'm not sure if that's a real problem, or what the workflow should look like in regards to that.

I don't see it as a real problem, as long as all it means is that I get an email from calm.  But if I also have to manually delete the packages from my upload area, that could be annoying.
