If we want to trigger a trunk build against e.g. Debian/buster we
might need to build certain projects against branch "buster/master",
instead of using the default "master" branch (which works fine for the
current Debian stable release AKA stretch, but might need
non-backwards compatible changes when building for the current Debian
testing release AKA buster ).
I identified two approaches to get there:
1) Statically extend the list of available branches which is available
for selection in the "Version" drop down (which only provide "ignore"
and "branch/master" until now).
This could be done by something like:
| --- a/release_dashboard/utils/__init__.py
| +++ b/release_dashboard/utils/__init__.py

| + branches.append(debian_release + "/master")
| + return branches
The disadvantage of this approach is, that we're listing all the
branches all the time, e.g. the very old "squeeze/master" is listed
even though it doesn't exist in any project as such.
2) Identify available branches and extend the regular expression
which identifies the "master" branch by also looking for
"$debian_release/master" branches, iterating over all supported
Debian releases.
Since approach 2) doesn't polute the drop down for branch
selection so much, this is the solution I decided to use here.
JFTR, when testing locally against an unpopulated sqlite database (:=
db.sqlite3 file), then the relevant branches need to exist in the
release_dashboard_project table of the DB. To fake such data use
something like:
| root@16f2201e3229:/code# sqlite3 ./db.sqlite3
| SQLite version 3.16.2 2017-01-06 16:32:41
| Enter ".help" for usage hints.
| sqlite> update release_dashboard_project set json_branches = '[{"ref": "HEAD", "revision": "master"}, {"ref": "refs/heads/master", "revision": "fakedata"},
| {"ref": "refs/heads/buster/master", "revision": "fakedata"}, {"ref": "refs/heads/stretch/master", "revision": "fakeeeeee"}]';
