It was certainly an interesting cooperation between developers and sysadmin to get rid of the performance issues we faced! debusine.debian.net is becoming a non-trivial deployment where scaling issues can create real usability issues for end-users.

In the latest in a series of articles about Debusine, our developers and sysadmins do a deep dive on how they managed to investigate and fix #Debusine workflow performance issues caused by complex interactions between a series of database concurrency and worker communication issues.
It involved delicate work to avoid system deadlocks, optimizing our workflow orchestration, scheduling fixes, worker refactoring and reducing the high database write volume.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@freexian/116237627398731887
This new #Debusine feature is a significant addition for #Debian developers: it applies to all QA tasks (lintian, piuparts, autopkgtest, blhc, …) and is very fine-grained in what it reports. For example, if you have 3 tests in autopkgtest, two of which are currently failing, and you now have only one failing in your new upload, it's shown as an improvement. And the opposite works: if you have one more tests failing, it's a regression.
It's really useful to discover problems that your package upload is introducing, simply by filtering out failures that are due to something else.
-
Debusine's QA pipelines, which checks if #Debian packages are ready to upload, have recently gained a regression tracking mechanism. The regressions are found by checking for new failures in autopkgtests for packages in the archive that depends on the built package.
Read the new #Debusine blog post at https://www.freexian.com/blog/debusine-regression-tracking/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social to know more about how it works and how you can use it in your own workflows.

#Debusine aims to be an integrated solution to build, distribute and maintain a Debian-based distribution. The lower-level pieces of its workflows are called tasks. A few examples are Sbuild, Lintian and Debdiff worker tasks.
Adding a new worker task can help you extend the capabilities of a Debusine instance.
Our new blogpost - https://www.freexian.com/blog/debusine-write-task/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social covers how to write one with a detailed example of adding a worker task that runs reprotest.

We bid adieu to 2025 with a post detailing how files are stored by Debusine.
Read about how abstractions for low-level file storage and object collections in Debusine allows storage to be scalable beyond a single filesystem and be highly available. It also goes into detail about how data duplication is minimized using content-addressed storage.

#Debusine repositories, a #Debian analog to #Ubuntu PPAs, is now in beta availability https://www.freexian.com/blog/debusine-repositories-beta/
-
RE: https://hachyderm.io/@freexian/115733891127604967
This is the culmination of one year of work in the #Debusine team and certainly a game changer in the #Debian community. Now we will build on this to make it possible to prepare large transitions in Debusine repositories, with all packages to be uploaded together when the entire set is ready and validated.

Ever thought about APT compatible add-on package repositories for Debian? Like PPAs but having proper compatibility with #Debian, QA tests and automatic built-in snapshot capabilities?
Glad to announce #Debusine repositories are now in public beta for Debian developers and maintainers.

Our new post on #Debusine is about how we brought Dark Mode to the interface.
Learn about the neat little tricks we did to enable it for Debusine, and see how we built a site-wide feature out of simple minimalist touches.

We have a new blog post on Debusine to share with you!
It's our first design story for the UI, covering our unique approach towards JavaScript. It goes into detail on how to avoid having Debian infrastructure depend on it, how to integrate interactive widgets with Django, and how to keep complexities down to make Debusine code easier to write and to maintain.

@cjwatson from #Freexian gave a great talk at #DebConf25:
“Using Debusine to pre-test your unstable uploads”
https://debconf25.debconf.org/talks/29-using-debusine-to-pre-test-your-unstable-uploads/Learn what Debusine is, why we built it, and how you can use the features we have built to do QA work in Debian right now, including dput-ng integration, and scaling into clouds. Understand how Debusine runs builds & reverse-dependency tests before your package hits the archive — ideal for safer uploads and smoother transitions to Testing.

UEFI Secure Boot Signing with Debusine
How do you handle Secure Boot signing for Debian-based systems?
We've just published a detailed write-up on how Freexian uses Debusine to manage UEFI Secure Boot signing for Debian 10 ELTS.
If any part of your work touches Secure Boot, package signing, or reproducible infrastructure for Debian distributions, it’s a relevant read.It covers:
* How signing workers are set up
* Secure Management of private keys
* Workflows to automate the tasks involved
* Future plans for extending the signing system and for better key protectionRead the post: https://www.freexian.com/blog/debusine-secure-boot-signing/
If you're working on a Debian derivative and facing similar challenges, we’d love to hear from you: [email protected]

Having a great time at #Debconf25. Many of us at @freexian are there too. Come and say hi!
As a gold sponsor, we are proud to support such an amazing event where Debian developers can work face to face, exchange ideas, and get some motivation boost!
BTW, in a few hours, on Tuesday 15th at 10:30, we showcase how #Debusine helps you to prepare packages for Debian (but it also works for companies and Debian derivatives).

Just stumbled on this article explaining how superhuman improved their product by focusing on feedback from users who would be disappointed if superhuman were to disappear. A bit long, but an interesting read. Can we apply this to #debian or #debusine ? Would be curious to know what the result would be in terms of benefits that people identify to their use of Debian.

During the mini debconf Toulouse, the #debusine team ran a very nice demo of a workflow that starts with a #debian source package, builds it on 4 architectures, runs lintian/autopkgtest/piuparts on all those architectures and then uploads the source package to Debian's incoming queue after having received the signature from the developer. Already available to all debian developers on debusine.debian.net!

Let us start with introducing the #debusine Project, developed and funded by Freexian with the support of @sovtechfund.
Debusine manages scheduling and distribution of Debian-related tasks to a network of worker machines. One of our main goals is to build a workflow integrating initial package submission, builds on all architectures, QA tests, reviews, signature and upload.
