Contributing to the development of britney2
|
|
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are interested in improving britney, you can obtain the source
|
|
|
|
code via::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
git clone https://salsa.debian.org/release-team/britney2.git
|
|
|
|
# Additional tests
|
|
|
|
git clone https://salsa.debian.org/debian/britney2-tests.git
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will need some packages to run britney and the test suites::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Runtime dependencies
|
|
|
|
apt install python3 python3-apt python3-yaml
|
|
|
|
# Test dependencies
|
|
|
|
apt install python3-pytest libclass-accessor-perl rsync
|
|
|
|
# Documentation generator
|
|
|
|
apt install python3-sphinx
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Britney has some basic unit tests, which are handled by py.test. It
|
|
|
|
also has some larger integration tests (from the ``britney2-tests``
|
|
|
|
repo). Running the tests are done via::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd britney2
|
|
|
|
# Basic unit tests
|
|
|
|
py.test-3
|
|
|
|
# Integration tests
|
|
|
|
rm -fr ./test-out/
|
|
|
|
../britney2-tests/bin/runtests ./britney.py ../britney2-tests/t ./test-out
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``runtests`` command in ``britney2-tests`` supports running only a
|
|
|
|
subset of the tests. Please see its ``--help`` output for more
|
|
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are also some heavier tests based on some snapshots of
|
|
|
|
live data from Debian. The data files for these are available in the
|
|
|
|
``live-data`` submodule of the ``britney2-tests`` repo. They consume
|
|
|
|
quite a bit of disk space and britney will need at least 1.3GB of RAM
|
|
|
|
to process them.

Documentation is handled by sphinx and can be built bia::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
make html
