Admonitions (FAQ, NOTE, TODO, BUG)

Automated index of all admonitions (in this manual as well as in python code documentation). For simplicity, we only use four admonitions: error, attention, important, tip.

Error

(BUG) In- or external bug that *should be fixed* eventually

Attention

(TODO) Something that *needs attention* eventually

Important

(NOTE) Something not obvious you should be aware of

  • administrator: Be sure to use the exact same host names as given in the resp. instance’s Daemon configuration!

  • administrator: Don’t add or delete Uploader instances manually!

  • administrator: The Daemon instance does not touch the GPG setup once it’s created – unless you do an explicit remove on the instance.

  • administrator: The SSL private key must be readable by user or group mini-buildd.

  • python/mini_buildd.builder: If the constructor fails, no buildresult would be uploaded (and packaging would hang). Keep it simple && be sure this does not fail on ‘normal’ error conditions.

  • python/mini_buildd.sbuild: This will iterate all lines of the build log,

  • roadmap: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5147: This, in theory, could be some way to create a TOC for text/plain (buildlogs and such). However

  • roadmap: twisted:

Tip

(FAQ) Free tip

  • abstract: Some links do not work in this manual?

  • administrator: Can I manually instantiate a build chroot to repeat/debug a failed build?

  • administrator: Can I skip migrating from 0.8.x?

  • administrator: How much disk space do I need to run mini-buildd?

  • administrator: In the web configurator, you may use the PCA shortcut (prepare, check and activate).

  • administrator: My chroot creation fails due to missing arch in archive (partial mirror)?

  • administrator: What APT keys is my Release file signed with?

  • administrator: What’s eatmydata and ccache?

  • administrator: sudo fails with “sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified”?

  • consumer: How do I verify mini-buildd’s APT key?

  • consumer: How to can I upgrade after Debian main release version fix?

  • consumer: What’s the hotfix suite good for?

  • developer: Can I access built packages that have not been installed into the repository?

  • developer: Do mini-buildd commands support bash autocompletion?

  • developer: Is package building parallel? (a.k.a. Where is the ‘sbuild_jobs’ settings?)

  • developer: Is there a changelog mode to help with Upload Options for emacs?

  • python/mini_buildd: compat (< libssl3): python fails for (self-signed) certificate even though it’s enrolled with system’s ca-certificates?

  • python/mini_buildd.api: keyring-packages: No compat for urold (apt-key add)

  • python/mini_buildd.api: Can I add a custom dput config snippet?

  • python/mini_buildd.api: With Debian package ‘qemu-user-static’ installed, you also have seamless access to foreign archs (albeit with a speed penalty)

  • python/mini_buildd.dist: What does LTS (mini-buildd speak) include for Debian?

  • python/mini_buildd.dist: What does LTS (mini-buildd speak) include for Ubuntu?
