This is the command pybit-web that can be run in the OnWorks free hosting provider using one of our multiple free online workstations such as Ubuntu Online, Fedora Online, Windows online emulator or MAC OS online emulator
PROGRAM:
NAME
pybit-web - buildd server to isuse build jobs to pybit clients.
DESCRIPTION
pybit-web provides a database connection and the controller to send messages to pybit
clients to create a specific package build using the specified version control system. The
client feeds status messages back to the controller which are displayed via the web
interface.
SETTING UP THE PYBIT-WEB SERVER
The Debian packaging of pybit-web uses dbconfig-common to configure the database.
For a local postgres instance, choose the unix socket option and the default ident
authentication, then postgres as the database administrative user and www-data as the
pybit-web database user. You can use whatever name you prefer for the pybit-web database
itself.
Note: Ensure that the www-data user is specified or apache will not be granted permission
to use the database connection. It's not enough to just set the user to www-data in
/etc/pybit/web/web.conf - this setting is correct but needs postgres to be configured to
allow access to www-data.
Also check that the pybit-web database owner is set to www-data and that all the tables in
the database have the owner set to www-data. Use ALTER DATABASE OWNER name TO "www-data"
and ALTER TABLE name OWNER to "www-data" if necessary.
BLACKLISTING PACKAGES
Sometimes there will be packages being committed to the VCS with updated debian/changelog
files but which either cannot or should not be built automatically.
pybit-web supports a postgres table called Blacklist, with fields "field" and "regex".
Blacklist is used internally by process_job() in controller to determine if certain
packages are centrally blacklisted using regexes. If there is a match on the field in
question, pybit-web will not issue a build request for this package. process_job() is
called by both the WebGUI and the VCS hook.
For example "name" and "(.*-dev)" will mean we do not autobuild any development packages,
while "vcs_uri" and "(.*/users/*)" will block sources from locations such as
/repo/users/jamesb/somebadcode
The controller log will print "BLACKLISTED! - [regex] matches [fieldname]:[data]" if a
package is blacklisted.
A 403 will be returned, as well as a False, from process_job to its caller (previously it
returned void)
