Ack. Several people have stepped up since then, including me, but more help is still nice. > On Sat, Aug 25, 2018 at 1:06 PM Paul Gevers <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Hi Paul, >> >> On 25-08-18 03:02, Paul Hardy wrote: >> ... >> Patches to the documentation are always welcome, especially to cover >> blind spots in our minds, even if only to get us in the right direction >> of what you are really looking for.

Third option is to use your text as starting point and amend it before acceptance. >> Also, I am trying to collect these kind of things and related stuff >> (which may be framework specific) here: >> https://wiki.debian.org/ContinuousIntegration/AutopkgtestBestPractices >> Feel free to add your remarks there. > > I will be glad to do that once I think I have my facts straight.

Just update it. If there is stuff wrong we'll fix it. And just a note about adding autopkgtest to your packages, you are aware that you can test it on our infrastructure from experimental? And you know that if it fails from the beginning, it doesn't change anything with respect to not having a test? So feel free to just start adding it, even if unsure. You can always seek help on #debci or on our mailing list. Paul
