Hello,
recently the following tickets were added (beneath a few more related ones):
https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/4790 - Setup Gitlab instance
https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/4791 - Update BuildBot
It's great that a patch review system and a CI/CD that builds every
patch for RTEMS starts to get within reach. Thanks a lot to all involved
in that for the efforts.
I reviewed earlier discussions related to CI/CD. From my point of view
there are mainly two points that are missing in the tickets:
First: From my point of view, we should make it simple for new users to
register. Adding authentication using well-known services can help with
that. GitLab supports (for example):
- GitHub: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/github.html
- GitLab.com: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/gitlab.html
- Google: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/google.html
- ...
I think it would be good to select the most common ones (at least the
three mentioned above) and add them as a goal to the ticket or a new
one. What do you think?
Second: It's still a bit unclear for me how the CI/CD with BuildBot will
work. Will it be possible for anyone to help improve the CI/CD? An
example to make it clear what I want to know: Let's assume an
unprivileged developer has a patch set that allows building device tree
files using the RTEMS build system, but the patches require a new tool
like dtc. Let's further assume that the idea has been discussed and
everyone agrees that it is a good idea (currently not yet the case for
dtc). Problem is: The patches trigger a CI error because the new tool is
missing and therefore can't be merged yet. How can the developer suggest
a fix so that the patches can be accepted faster without having to wait
for one specific maintainer to have enough time for adapting the CI config?
Best regards
Christian
