It's been four years since I've talked about Gentoo Build Publisher's GraphQL API.

For a while I have been thinking about writing documentation on how to write plugins for Gentoo Build Publisher.

I have released Gentoo Build Publisher 3.0.0.

I would like to introduce unittest-fixtures.

Gentoo Build Publisher 2.7.0 has been released.

Gentoo Build Publisher 2.5.0 is now released, along with releases for its various plugins.

This article explains how to enable authentication in Gentoo Build Publisher using API keys to secure the server's access via GraphQL.

The upcoming release of Gentoo Build Publisher will have the ability to dump and restore builds to an archive.

There's a new plugin for Gentoo Build Publisher available: gbp-fl.

A powerful feature of Gentoo is the ability to pull in packages from multiple third party repos (aka overlays).

Note: Since version 2.2.0 Gentoo Build Publisher (and the CLI) has the ability to pass a --repo flag to the build subcommand, rendering this article obsolete.

I try to make an effort to occasionally go through the Gentoo Build Publisher Install Guide to make sure it is up to date, but I don't always get to it between major changes.

Gentoo Build Publisher uses buildah containers to build each machine's binary packages.

Not long ago Gentoo announced binary packages for Gentoo!

This is a short tip and (self) reminder about getting GBP to purge old builds from a machine that is disabled on Jenkins.

Let's say you use Gentoo Build Publisher to continuously build your Gentoo machine's packages, but you haven't updated your actual machine in a while.

I've decided to set up a GoFundMe for my elderly Aunt and cousins who were affected by the 2023-03-31 a series of tornados and severe thunderstorms struck through North America.

Let's say you've upgraded to tracker-3.4 and it doesn't work.

Often in programming we have some "constant" value that we define as a variable in Python.

In my article from 14 months ago when I introduced Gentoo Build Publisher I wrote "Next time I will write about how one can install one's own gbp instance."

It is often said that Python functions can return multiple values, but this isn't really true.

This article discusses how you should (and shouldn't) compare string representations of timestamps in Python.

When one is performing Gentoo builds inside a CI/CD container (inside another container) and a build fails it is sometimes desirable to create a bug report at bugs.gentoo.org.

A couple of days ago I replaced the dashboard for Gentoo Build Publisher.

If, like me, you've ever been curious about if/how coreutil's du command handles hard links: $ mkdir test $ mkdir test/a test/b $ dd if=/dev/zero of=test/a/a bs=1M count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 1048576 bytes (1.0 MB, 1.0 MiB) copied, 0.00215261 s,

I am still working on a way to make Gentoo Build Publisher easy(er) to install and use.

It is often said that one of the advantages of testing is that it gives one confidence when refactoring.

In my previous post I explained what Gentoo Build Publisher is and how it may benefit Gentoo users, especially those with multiple heterogeneous Gentoo systems.

Gentoo Linux is a source-based rolling-release meta-distribution that one can twist and mold into pretty much anything one likes.

I use Makefiles a lot for development.
