Debusine's QA pipelines, which checks if #Debian packages are ready to upload, have recently gained a regression tracking mechanism. The regressions are found by checking for new failures in autopkgtests for packages in the archive that depends on the built package.

Read the new #Debusine blog post at https://www.freexian.com/blog/debusine-regression-tracking/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social to know more about how it works and how you can use it in your own workflows.

#Debusine aims to be an integrated solution to build, distribute and maintain a Debian-based distribution. The lower-level pieces of its workflows are called tasks. A few examples are Sbuild, Lintian and Debdiff worker tasks.

Adding a new worker task can help you extend the capabilities of a Debusine instance.

Our new blogpost - https://www.freexian.com/blog/debusine-write-task/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social covers how to write one with a detailed example of adding a worker task that runs reprotest.
