PET - Package Entropy Tracker

PET is a collection of scripts that gather information about your (or your group's) packages. It allows you to see in a bird's eye view the health of hundreds of packages, instantly realizing where work is needed.

The code is at https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pet/pet3.git/, database dumps can be found at http://pet.43-1.org/~pet/db/.

Discussions go on the pet-devel mailing list.

There are two ways to install Pet. With or without vagrant. Choose one and follow the next steps to install.

Installation using Vagrant

Vagrant is a tool for building complete development environments. With an easy-to-use workflow and focus on automation, Vagrant lowers development environment setup time, increases development/production parity, and makes the "works on my machine" excuse a relic of the past. Official Site Reference.

Vagrant can be installed with the command: apt-get install vagrant. And all the binaries are in this page Vagrant Download.

To install PET, it is necessary to clone the repository and start vagrant:

$ git clone https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pet/pet3.git/

$ cd pet/

Now, it is necessary to start vagrant up and access vagrants ssh. Follow this commands: $ vagrant up

$ vagrant ssh

$ sudo su - pet

To start the web interface, execute:

$ ./pet-serve

To access it: http://localhost:4567/pkg-perl/pet.cgi

Installation without Vagrant

$ psql pet

pet=> INSERT INTO team (name, maintainer, url) VALUES ('pkg-perl', 'Debian Perl Group <[e-mail]>', 'http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/');

pet=> INSERT INTO repository (name, type, root, web_root, team_id) VALUES ('git','git','https://pet.alioth.debian.org/pet2-data/pkg-perl/git-pkg-perl-packages.json','http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-perl/packages', 1);

pet=> INSERT INTO package (name, repository_id) VALUES ('clive', 1);

pet=> INSERT INTO archive (name, url, web_root) VALUES ('debian', 'http://cdn.debian.net/debian', 'http://packages.qa.debian.org/');

pet=> INSERT INTO suite (archive_id, name) VALUES (1, 'unstable');

pet=> \q

$ ./update-package libboolean-perl

$ ./update-bts

$ ./update-archive debian

To start the web interface:

$ ./pet-serve

To access it: http://localhost:8080/pkg-perl/pet.cgi

Update Repository

To get the packages, it is necessary to update your local repository. $ update-repository x

x is a positive integer of the repository. e.g. pass 1. This command will return all packages.

Now, update the packages with the names printed on $ update-repository x. Follow this command:

$ update-package packages_name

After updating all packages, run:

$ ./update-bts
