Workflow lintian

This workflow schedules Lintian checks for a single source package and its binaries on a set of architectures.

  • task_data:

    • source_artifact (Single lookup, required): see Lintian task

    • binary_artifacts (Multiple lookup, required): see Lintian task

    • vendor (string, required): the distribution vendor on which to run tests

    • codename (string, required): the distribution codename on which to run tests

    • backend (string, optional): see Lintian task

    • architectures (list of strings, optional): if set, only run on any of these architecture names

    • output, include_tags, exclude_tags, fail_on_severity: see Lintian task

The workflow computes dynamic metadata as:

  • subject: package name of source_artifact

Lintian will be run on the intersection of the provided list of architectures (if any) and the architectures provided in binary_artifacts, in each case grouping source + arch-all + arch-any together for the best test coverage. If only Architecture: all binary packages are provided in binary_artifacts, then Lintian will be run once for source + arch-all.

The workflow creates a Lintian task for each concrete architecture, with task data:

  • input.source_artifact: {source_artifact}

  • input.binary_artifacts: the subset of {binary_artifacts} that are for the concrete architecture or all

  • environment: {vendor}/match:codename={codename}

  • backend: {backend}

  • output, include_tags, exclude_tags, fail_on_severity: copied from workflow task data parameters of the same names

Any of the lookups in input.source_artifact or input.binary_artifacts may result in promises, and in that case the workflow adds corresponding dependencies. Binary promises must include an architecture field in their data.
