FTR: commit 76bfc82 Author: ellie timoney <[email protected]> Date: Wed Sep 25 11:09:08 2019 +1000 functions.sh: don't ignore cassandane 'make' failures (why was this ever a thing??)
…s. "testing distribution package" (Debian) By default, and in order to be backward-compatible (so upstream doesn't have to modify any of its existing CI calls), functions.sh and testscript.sh will continue building cyrus from source and testing that. If the BUILD_CYRUS_FROM_SOURCE variable is set to something else than "yes", however, the Debian package will be used instead; this is what the maintainers of cyrus-imapd in Debian use for autopkgtest. A second extra environment variable, CASSANDANEOPTS, is also added: it is set to "Cyrus::ImapTest" in Debian, in order to limit the range of tests being run. Its default value is "", once again to keep the behavior backward-compatible with the previous implementation.

Thanks for this. I've been doing a bunch of overhaul of the Dockerfile, and I realize that this PR is quite old. Sorry about the wait. I'm doing a test run now to make sure we can build on sid. Apart from that, I think I'll need to come back to look at this one in the near future. It seems reasonable, but as we're moving around a few other things, I want to keep things in a well-understood order… |

I think maybe this PR has sort lost steam, which I acknowledge will be because it was so long ignored. I think the goal here was to make it possible to test an installed-from-apt cyrus-imapd for running the Cassandane test suite. I assume this was so that the Debian packagers could use this image's test suite for testing their packaged cyrus-imapd. Is that so? If so, I bet we can make some progress. I will close this issue in a week or two if I don't hear back, but of course it can be re-opened. |

Important Debian 13 will be enter in freeze period soon. It is the moment to create a new cyrus-sasl and cyrus-imapd release versions. |

This repository isn't part of Debian or, as far as I know, how Debian makes releases. I don't understand the point of your comment. |

@rjbs: It is cyrus-docker and Debian Sid is Debian Unstable, the step before Debian Testing. In this period (January 2025), Debian Testing is now Debian 13 "Trixie" which enters in freeze period in few days. Debian 13 is the next generation of Debian after Debian 12 (2023). Debian has new major release every 2 years. |
