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
    • 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

  • 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
