Hi, With the help of CentOS project I am happy to announce an automated system [1] to test patches from bugs.python.org. This can be fully automated to test the patches whenever someone uploads a patch in the roundup, but for now it accepts IRC commands on #python-dev channel. I worked on a docker based prototype during sprints in PyCon. How to use it? --------------- 1. Join #python-dev on irc.freenode.net. 2. Ask for test privilege from any one of kushal,Taggnostr,bitdancer 3. They will issue a simple command. #add: YOUR_NICK_NAME 4. You can then test by issuing the following command in the channel: #test: BUGNUMBER like #test: 21271 This will do the following: Start a new job on ci.centos.org, announce it on the channel, and announce the result also. I will be working on a minimal lint for patches, and include it the workflow. The current steps can be found at [2]. Each build is happening on a fresh system. Limitations ----------- 1. It excepts one single patch to contain all the required changes (instead of a series of patches). 2. It runs only on x86_64 architecture, CentOS7 based systems.
