Re: [pygame] Closing issue 211 with big-endian CPU test

Hi,

Interesting. I didn't know you could do that ( and that, and that).

Thanks for the information.

By the way, the webhooks can be added through the bitbucket admin interface. Any of the admins can add them in there.

Am I able to add other users to the launchpad pygame team? I'd probably want a separate "pygame Robot" user which is able to upload to launchpad repos+PPAs.

I think for now, the code is building and all but one test is running. For me, this is enough for now. I'll concentrate on fixing the failing test in the lib/compat.py and getting a qemu build going. I have a mate running a freebsd PPC laptop that might be able to give pygame a build... I'll see how that goes. According to him the more recent debian/ubuntu releases don't work so well, so he had to change to freebsd.


best,

I guess we should incorporate the Debian changes, but I wanted to check with Thomas if what I did was ok? (see revs 14-19).

Fine by me. I just copied the packaging from Debian/Ubuntu originally anyway, so bringing in the updates is probably useful.

They use an interesting method to do a hg clone. I'm not sure how to actually use this though... (see get-orig-source-hg in rules). In rev 19 I changed that to get the latest rev from hg. But I guess they want to specify a specific version.

AFAIK, the builders never actually run that target (and even if they did, they don't have outside network access). Unlike everything else in debian/rules, it's there for human packagers to run to get the data and then upload it. Debian packaging can be pretty ugly at times.

Since you already have a machine running a custom webhook when there are new commits, perhaps it's best to use that to upload directly to Launchpad for PPA builds, bypassing Launchpad's code import and recipe builds:
https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/Uploading

You'd need to work out how to get from a source tree to a Debian source package locally, though. I'm sure GPG signatures are involved somehow.

Best wishes,

Thomas
