As of today, britney now fetches reports from piuparts.debian.org and uses it as a part of her evaluation for package migration. As with her RC bug check, we are only preventing (known) regressions from migrating.
The messages (subject to change) look something like:
- Piuparts tested OK
- Rejected due to piuparts regression
- Ignoring piuparts failure (Not a regression)
- Cannot be tested by piuparts (not a blocker)
If you want to do machine parsing of the Britney excuses, we also provide an excuses.yaml. In there, you are looking for “excuses[X].policy_info.piuparts.test-results”, which will be one of:
- pass
- regression
- failed
- cannot-be-tested
Enjoy.
