Re: ratt as a service?
I've made some progress on a service for this during a GSOC project: - https://salsa.debian.org/autodeb-team/autodeb-packaging - https://auto.debian.net/ (expired ssl cert - sorry) Managing a service like this takes a lot of energy and time. GSOC would allow me to work on it full time, but I could never find the time to manage it outside of that. I'd be willing to give tips to anyone who would want to pick it up, or give ideas if you decide to start fresh. I'd even be willing to mentor a GSOC project on it.

As a maintainer of Boost (hundreds of rev deps, including pretty large stuff), I would not dislike something like that. For the moment I am managing to use some scripts of my own to distribute the build on a few computers, some of which are kindly offered by friends of mine. It is not an ideal situation.

Most ftbfs can't be found except rebuilding all the reverse dependecies. This is probably why stapelberg implemented this. If there's a such service, I hope it can be integrated with salsa, and be triggered when you push. However if it's been widely used, I would concern how to build more efficiently and cache friendly. -- Shengjing Zhu

ratt as a service?
Hello, ratt (rebuild all the things, https://packages.debian.org/sid/ratt) is really interesting but it's sometimes hard to use effectively on personal resources: some packages have tens, if not hundreds of reverse dependencies, and running ratt for them on your laptop is just not feasible. So i'm wondering if Debian should offer a service where: * a developer (as someone with a gpg key in the debian keyring, at least at first) uploads a binary .changes file (so source + binary packages, built locally) to a new dput upload queue * ratt is executed against that package reverse dependencies * when the run is completed, a recap email is sent to the Changed-By address with the list of fail/success * also a web interface to track the progress of the rebuild & read the build logs. this could be scaled pretty easily with multiple backend "builders" (and we can put limits in place to reduce concurrency, like one package per developer only etc etc) Maybe it's something that could be done as a GSOC project (I'm not volunteering to mentor this project). thoughts?
