Setting up the goodies short howto

[Enrico Zini]

Hello,

I'm not posting this on a wiki because it contains scripts and
configuration files, so you may prefer a signed mail.

Here's the instructions and sample conffiles that can be a starting
point for setting up svn hooks for CIA and for updating webspaces, and
for setting up an upload queue + APT repository using debpool.

The example config files and scripts are found in the attached tarball.


Subversion hooks:

 From the directory "subversion":
   bin/ciabot_svn.py is what extracts the commit informations and prepares a
		     mail.  It has few lines that need configuring at the
		     beginning, for selecting what gets sent.
   bin/mailer.py     sends the mail; nothing to change
   conf/mailer.conf  configures the behaviour of mailer.py; usually nothing to
		     change, except a subject prefix if commits are sent to a
		     list
   hooks/*	     hooks into subversion events to run the other scripts.
		     post-commit also contains actions I wrote to catch web
		     commits and update the webspace, and it can be a useful
		     template for similar things


APT debpool repository

 To run the inbound queue, schedule this with cron
   /usr/bin/debpool --config=/someplace/dpool-conf.pm --nodaemon
 
 In the debpool directory there is a sample conffile from the Debtags project
 in Alioth: only the "archive_dir" option needs to be changed, and the
 archive_dir directory needs to exist for debpool to run.

 Please also note that debpool is only available from debian experimental.
 

Ciao,

Enrico
