💖 kgb-ci-report — the manual, but make it cute (1p) 💖

okay so bestie, quick vibe check: this is kgb-ci-report, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the world. yes it's a Perl script, yes it's iconic, no we're not taking questions 💅

✨ NAME ✨

kgb-ci-report — put DebCI status of maintained packages on IRC 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

kgb-ci-report --maintainer email --kgb-config path [option...]

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so basically, kgb-ci-report goes and retrieves tha packages with failing CI tests and reports a summary on IRC via kgb-client(1). it's giving "your fave packages are NOT passing and we're telling everyone" energy 🔥

the packages get filtered by maintainer email. the intended purpose — lowkey the whole point — is invoking it from cron, like, daily. set it and forget it, queen 👑

it uses UDD (https://udd.debian.org) to get the info about the maintained packages, and https://ci.debian.net to fetch their status. two sources, one slay 💖

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --maintainer email, -m email — the maintainer email. Mandatory, bestie, you literally cannot skip it. if you repeat it multiple times, then all packages maintained by any of the emails get considered in the report. multitasking queen 🎀
  • --kgb-config path — path to the kgb-client(1) configuration. also Mandatory. yes, both. no, you can't just do one 🙈
  • --quiet — stop reporting progress and results. shhh. silent mode. stealth mode. ninja mode 🤫
  • --distribution name — set the wanted distribution when retrieving the list of maintained packages. defaults to "debian" 💜
  • --release codename — sets the wanted release name when retrieving the list of maintained packages. defaults to "sid" 🌈
  • --kgb-client path — path to the kgb-client executable. defaults to "kgb-client" ⭐

kgb-ci-report was written during the pkg-perl sprint in Barcelona 2015. that's right, the lore is real: https://wiki.debian.org/Sprints/2015/DebianPerlSprint ✈️🌸
