qa.debian.org
=============

This is where the data for the Debian Quality Assurance lives.

Users and Groups
----------------

There is a 'qa' unix group which should give you access to pretty much every QA
file. Some exceptions are mboxes, where exim insists on removing the g+w bit.
The usual bits about using the right umask apply. Ask a QA member if you want
to join.

Membership to the 'qa' unix group is automatically mirrored in alioth's
'qa' project. The group there is required for write access to svn.

Some hosts have a 'qa' user. Access via sudo is available on request. Please
ask a QA member to second your request before asking debian-admin. The access
is per host, so please indicate which hosts you want. The ~qa home should not
be used for anything but ssh keys (adding yours is probably a good idea, so you
don't have to expose your password all the time).

Files
-----

Data is stored in svn:
  svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/qa/trunk
  http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/qa/trunk/

To get commit notifications, subscribe to the 'qa.debian.org' package in the
PTS and add the 'cvs' keyword:
  ( echo "subscribe qa.debian.org"
    echo "keyword qa.debian.org + cvs" ) | mail pts@qa.debian.org

All newly added stuff should go into the 'data' subdir (see below), only
private data (like the MIA database) should be outside of 'data'.

Hosts
-----

merkel: qa.debian.org lives here, the above-mentioned svn tree being checked
out to /org/qa.debian.org/. The 'data' subdir is http-exported to
http://qa.debian.org/data/. bugs.qa.debian.org also lives here; the
bug-summaries subdirectory from svn is checked out to
/org/bugs.qa.debian.org/, and the 'web' subdir is http-exported to
http://bugs.qa.debian.org/. merkel has a 'qa' user.

master: hosts packages.qa.debian.org, the svn 'pts' subdir being checked out to
/org/packages.qa.debian.org/. master has a 'qa' user.
