Hi everybody! In a few days I will be rolling out a big change to the way CI Train builds source packages, however this change is not compatible with all source packages and some may require changes in order to remain compatible with the new behavior.
The change is that the train will no longer install build dependencies and run "debian/rules clean" during the *source* package build (these will of course still be run in the PPA during binary package build), which will dramatically reduce the time it takes to build source packages in the train, allowing people to iterate on their silo builds more rapidly (one test reduced source package build time from 100 minutes to 35 minutes on a large silo). The vast majority of packages should be unaffected by this, however if you are using the debian/rules clean target in order to modify your debian/control file prior to source package build (which is an officially supported CI Train feature), you'll need to stop using debian/rules and start using a special hook script which we've created for this purpose. So far I'm aware of unity-scopes-api and unity8 being affected by this change, however I've already submitted branches fixing those ones. If you believe your source package is affected by this change, please contact me and I'll get your code up to speed. Here are example MPs showing what the new hook script looks like: https://code.launchpad.net/~robru/unity8/pre_release_hook/+merge/289550 https://code.launchpad.net/~robru/unity-scopes-api/vivid-tweaks/+merge/288865 In short: You need a new script, debian/bileto_pre_release_hook, which will be called with $PWD set as your source tree root (not the debian/ dir), and no arguments. If you want to do different things depending on what ubuntu release you are building for, the environment variable $SERIES will be set to the name of the release, eg, "vivid". -- robru -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
