Running the patchbot
You can let the patchbot choose the tickets it will run on.
Install the patchbot using sage -i patchbot (warning: the current spkg in sage is not up-to-date)
(2015-04) The latest available version can be installed using sage -i http://chapoton.perso.math.cnrs.fr/patchbot-2.3.3.spkg
Run the patchbot using sage -patchbot
It is safer to run the patchbot in an unused sage install.
It will run forever, as long as it finds a ticket to work on. Tickets are only considered if their authors are trusted.
You can run a specific ticket by using sage -patchbot --ticket=N where N is a ticket number such as 12345.
Several other options are available, see sage -patchbot --help
--skip-base will skip the check that the base sage installation is sane.
--plugin-only will only build and run the plugins but not the tests (much quicker but less useful).
--safe-only will only test branches that only change files inside the directory "src/sage" (this is the case by default).
Configuration
By default, the patchbot should run without needing to tune its configuration.
You can use a specific configuration file using sage -patchbot --config=path/config_file.json
For the complete list of configurable entities, see the code of the get_config function in https://github.com/robertwb/sage-patchbot/blob/master/src/patchbot.py. The base patchbot configuration can be found there. All of these settings can be overridden by passing a config file which is treated as a json overlay on these defaults.
For example, to let the tickets of user "niceguy" be given some priority, use:
- {"bonus": {"niceguy": 200}}
To give preference to a component you care about, use
- {"bonus": {"combinatorics": 200}}
To avoid the use of ccache, use:
- {"use_ccache": false}
To run only at night, use
- {"time_of_day": "22-7"}
A more complex example of config file could be:
- {"bonus": {"niceguy": 200, "needs_work": -20}, "use_ccache": false, "safe_only": true, "skip_base": true}
Note that the booleans must be written with no capital first letter.
The config will be read again between every run, hence it allows live configuration of the patchbot.
