lemonbot

Citra bot used for bleeding edge builds

TODO:

The following is information that is outdated and needs a rewrite. The new merge method is to use the github label feature.

Outdated information (about the old merge list merge idea)

People with admin access can just edit the merge_list.yml to update what branches are going to be built on the next run. Currently without webhooks this bot just checks every 5 minutes for updates.

Pull requests to fix issues with the bot are more than welcome.

What does it do?

The bot essentially runs the following git commands to build a merge of the branches

TODO: Fill this out. Theres a list of commands that runs at the end of build py but its a little old

In the event of a failed merge, that branch is marked as failed merge and left out of the final build.

Branches can be marked as required to signify that if this branch fails to merge than the build should fail/

Branches are merged in order from top to bottom. Because of this, you should put the most important branches first in order to increase their priority.

Example merge_list.yml

# changes to these require a restart to take effect.
tracking_repository: "https://github.com/foo/bar"
push_repository: "https://github.com/whoknows/beta"

tracking_remotes:
    - name: baz
      url: "https://github.com/baz/bar"
      # use the scheduled checkup instead of webhook
      web_hook: false
    - name: contributor
      url: "https://github.com/contributor/bar"

merge_list:
    - pr_id: 1234
      branch: prerequiste-changes
      required: true
    - pr_id: 2468
      branch: cool-feature-but-not-necessary
    - pr_id: 1567
      branch: fails-to-merge-build-will-continue
    - pr_id: 1492
      branch: fails-to-merge-build-fails-too
      required: true
    - pr_id: 2001
      branch: a-space-odyssey
    - remote: baz
      branch: too-cool-to-pr-this

# Someday I would like to have these option as well
enable_trusted_prs: true
auto_remove_merged: true

Future goals

Webhook support. Need to get a webhook setup first though.
Trusted PRs. Auto add prs submitted by members of the repositories organization
Auto remove PRs that were merged into master since the last build
Remove the need for branch names in the yaml. They can be swapped out for the commit hash I bet if they are left blank.
Add different tracking remotes that can be pulled from
