What do you > think? regarding ci... i am not sure how useful that would be for me. right now, i just run a wheezy VM inside qemu and install stuff by hand in there. since i need a clean VM every time, setting up the whole CI env would seem to be a significant overhead, no? besides, i expect the build process to run tests.. autopkgtest i usually run by hand later, if at all - i am usually more concerned about testing with the POC data from advisories... but it would be great to have a more standard and, more importantly, documented setup, as I have spent quite a bit of personal time finding the right workflow for that kind of stuff here (which mostly revolves around pdebuild, cowbuilder, vmdebootstrap and qemu right now). i'd be happy to participate in such a documentation / standardization effort in any case. a. -- Drowning people Sometimes die Fighting their rescuers. - Octavia Butler
