MINI-BUILDD-EVENTS(1)

🌸 NAME 🌸

mini-buildd-events — ok so bestie, this is the little mini-buildd-events(1) tool and its whole entire job is: monitor events. And if you want, it can also dip out and exit the second your criteria get met. that's it. that's the vibe. 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So like, here's the actual invocation, copy-paste style, exactly as it comes:

usage: mini-buildd-events [-h] [--version] [-l LOG_LEVEL] [-A AFTER]

[-T
{REJECTED,BUILDING,BUILT,PACKAGING,INSTALLED,FAILED,MIGRATED,REMOVED}
[{REJECTED,BUILDING,BUILT,PACKAGING,INSTALLED,FAILED,MIGRATED,REMOVED}
...]]
       [-D DISTRIBUTION] [-S SOURCE] [-V SOURCE_VERSION] [-M
       MINIMAL_VERSION] [-E
       {REJECTED,BUILDING,BUILT,PACKAGING,INSTALLED,FAILED,MIGRATED,REMOVED}
       [{REJECTED,BUILDING,BUILT,PACKAGING,INSTALLED,FAILED,MIGRATED,REMOVED}
       ...]]  [-F
       {REJECTED,BUILDING,BUILT,PACKAGING,INSTALLED,FAILED,MIGRATED,REMOVED}
       [{REJECTED,BUILDING,BUILT,PACKAGING,INSTALLED,FAILED,MIGRATED,REMOVED}
       ...]]  ENDPOINT

Monitor events. Optionally exit when criteria is met. — yeah, that's literally the whole thing. watch the events scroll by, and if you told it what you're waiting for, it bounces the moment it sees it. iconic behavior honestly. 🦋

🎀 positional arguments 🎀

• ENDPOINT — this is your HTTP target endpoint, aka a Twisted-style Network Client Endpoint. it's giving "where do I even connect to" energy.

go read this if you wanna know more, fr fr:

https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/endpoints.html#clients

And here's the notation examples, all of them, no skips 💖:

• 'tcp:host=localhost:port=8066' — Connect to localhost, unencrypted.
• 'tls:host=localhost:port=8066' — Connect to localhost, encrypted.
• 'http://localhost:8066' — Extra URL-style syntax (prefer twisted-style in saved configs, though).
• 'localhost:8066' — Compatibility host:port syntax (don't use -- might eventually go away).

heads up bestie: that last one? compatibility only. don't build your whole life on it, it might eventually go away. 🙈

🦋 options 🦋

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit. the classic. the icon. 👑
• --version — show program's version number and exit.
• -l, --log-level LOG_LEVEL — set log level. if you don't give one, ['WARNING', 'mini_buildd.INFO'] gets applied by default. You can also pass it as <logger>.<level> to only affect individual loggers, and you can pass it multiple times (go peek at your existing logs to find out the actual logger names). (default: None)
• -A, --after AFTER — also show past events after this date. use the keyword 'epoch' if you want a big-bang timestamp. otherwise most formats should just work (like '2 weeks ago'). (default: None)
• -T, --types {REJECTED,BUILDING,BUILT,PACKAGING,INSTALLED,FAILED,MIGRATED,REMOVED} [{REJECTED,BUILDING,BUILT,PACKAGING,INSTALLED,FAILED,MIGRATED,REMOVED} ...] — Types filter (default: None)
• -D, --distribution DISTRIBUTION — Distribution filter (default: None)
• -S, --source SOURCE — Source package name filter (default: None)
• -V, --source-version SOURCE_VERSION — Version filter (default: None)
• -M, --minimal-version MINIMAL_VERSION — Minimal version filter (default: None)
• -E, --exit-on {REJECTED,BUILDING,BUILT,PACKAGING,INSTALLED,FAILED,MIGRATED,REMOVED} [{REJECTED,BUILDING,BUILT,PACKAGING,INSTALLED,FAILED,MIGRATED,REMOVED} ...] — Types to exit on (default: None)
• -F, --fail-on {REJECTED,BUILDING,BUILT,PACKAGING,INSTALLED,FAILED,MIGRATED,REMOVED} [{REJECTED,BUILDING,BUILT,PACKAGING,INSTALLED,FAILED,MIGRATED,REMOVED} ...] — Types to (return and) fail on (default: None)
