I guess what I mean is these outside developers could continue

about their "official" branch. We could have a standard that

branch, but putting it in writing would make things clearer for
prospective repo maintainers.
OK, then I think that it would be a good idea to have a gentoo-ci
branch, or similar, if the assumption is merely that this is where
Gentoo developers will look when evaluating your repository.
Ok, if we go this route, here is a basic simple question. Why can't the
"gentoo-ci" be a package, or group of packages that runs in a private
persons own resources, regardless it is a single gentoo server or a
small cluster (openstack)? That way, those gentoo-ciruns can be
performed by the proxy or the author thus reducing the workload for QA
or other devs. I guess what I'm really asking is/will the gentoo-ci be
packaged up for the gentoo community to use, on a small set of packages?
dev-util/pkgcheck is the QA tool used (you want -9999).
https://github.com/gentoo/travis-repo-checks is the wrapper that is
used to run it in parallel. A lot of hackery, and master is outdated
for -9999. No time to fix it. The repo-mirror-ci branch is better but
then, I updated it recently for some local hacks.
https://bitbucket.org/mgorny/pkgcheck-result-parser is the thingie used
to turn pkgcheck XML reports into pretty HTML. Also a bit hacky,
especially with the error & warning lists hardcoded.
https://bitbucket.org/mgorny/repo-mirror-ci all the extra scriptery
used to run it all. No time to clean it up more than I already did.
EXCELLENT ! I seem to be mostly interested in orphaned, broken and
controversial packages these days....not sure if that is a good thing or
not.
Do these ci tools work on gentoo snaps? [1]
thx,
