= MacPorts Meeting 2018: Buildbot

== Outstanding issues:

* Buildbot 1.0
  * Can we switch to the new version?
    * #56044: We should prototype builds on Buildbot 1.x and fix the UI rather than working around 0.8's limitations.
  * Would offer GitHub authentication


* Deploying www/guide/portindex jobs
  * Has to be deployed by Ryan


* Pull requests
  * Can we test them on our own infrastructure?
  * Requires spinning up clean VMs


* Fixing email notifications
  * No access to logs, Ryan needs to look into it: #56045

* Do not attempt to build ports on platforms they are known to fail on: #15712
  * Use 'platforms' option from Portfiles

== Most important and might want to start on this meeting:

* Building variants
 * Ticket: #52742
 * Make mpbb support building with variants
 * Which set of variants should be build by the buildbot?
    * +quartz
    * +universal
      
* History of builds for each port
  * How to find build of a specific port
  * Need to write some kind of index
  * History of builds
  * Display build status on GitHub for each commmit
    * https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/statuses/

* Reorganization
  * Use one build job per port
  * Add another level of hierarchy
  * Have a single portwatcher jobs that triggers mirroring and distributes jobs to OS-specific builds afterwards

* Port dependencies build order
  * Ticket: #52766
  * Dependencies need to be built first
  * Sort list of ports to topological order
