Piuparts task

A specific task to represent a binary package check using the piuparts utility.

The task_data associated to this task can contain the following keys:

  • input (required): a dictionary describing the input data

    • binary_artifacts (Multiple lookup, required): a list of debian:binary-packages or debian:upload artifacts representing the binary packages to be tested. Multiple artifacts can be provided so as to support e.g. testing binary packages from split indep/arch builds.

  • backend (optional, defaults to unshare). If auto, the task uses the default. Supported backends: incus-lxc, incus-vm, and unshare.

  • environment (Single lookup with default category debian:environments, required): artifact of category debian:system-tarball that will be used to run piuparts itself.

  • base_tgz (Single lookup with default category debian:environments, required): artifact of category debian:system-tarball that will be used to run piuparts tests, through piuparts --base-tgz. If the artifact’s data has with_dev: True, the task will remove the files /dev/* before using it.

  • host_architecture (required): the architecture that we want to test on.

  • extra_repositories (optional): a list of extra repositories to enable. Each repository is described by the same dictionary as the extra_repositories option in the Task PackageBuild.

The piuparts output will be provided as a new artifact.
