After reading Mike Hommey's idea about buildd network for QA testing, I decided to try to implement the 10.1 policy recommendations check using rebuildd.

Here is how I proceeded.

Install and configure rebuildd

This is done by apt-get install rebuildd. Then, init database (I use sqlite) with rebuildd init.

Then I initialized build system with rebuildd-init-build-system. I had to add nostrip to DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS, so I decided to do quick and dirty and I edited /usr/bin/dpkg-build-package adding the good export info in the first lines.

Configuration file and post build cmd

My configuration file is simple and the one by default: I only changed email addresses and add a post_build_cmd script.

Here's the code for the script:

#!/bin/sh
dist=$1
pkg=$2
version=$3
arch=`dpkg --print-architecture`
RET=0
cd /var/cache/pbuilder/result || exit 1

for file in $(grep '.deb$' ${pkg}_${version}_${arch}.changes |cut -d\  -f6)
do
	echo Checking $file for stripped binaries...
	echo ---------------------------------------
	mkdir /tmp/$file
	dpkg -x $file /tmp/$file
	find /tmp/$file -type f | (while read line
	do 
		L=$(file $line | egrep 'ELF.*, stripped')
		if test ! -z "$L"
		then
			echo $L
			RET=1
		fi
	done; exit $RET)
	RET=$?
	rm -rf /tmp/$file
done
echo
echo ...done

echo Removing result files...
for file in $(grep-dctrl -sFiles . ${pkg}_${version}_${arch}.changes | sed '1d' | cut -d\  -f6)
do
	rm -f $file
	rm -f /var/cache/rebuildd/build/$file
done
rm -f ${pkg}_${version}_${arch}.changes
echo ...done

exit $RET

Fille the db

Then I fill the database with:

grep-dctrl -sPackage,Version .  /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.fr.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_main_source_Sources | cut -d: -f2- | tr '\n' ' ' | sed 's/   /\n/g'| sed 's/  / /' | xargs -L1 -ixxxxxx echo xxxxxx sid | rebuildd-job add

And finally I just have to start rebuildd and let it do the job.

Argh, already 3 build logs received with stripped binaries…
