            Bug ID: 48654
           Summary: Automate checking the WTBS patches
           Product: Wine-Testbot
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: fgouget at codeweavers.com
      Distribution: ---

See bug 48653 for a description of the WTBS and how to check the jobs created
when running it on the TestBot.

Some patches in the WTBS are not meant to create TestBot jobs but rather to
verify that it ignores non-Wine patches, or patches that don't impact the tests
or the Wine build, etc.

Those still create entries in the 'wine-devel' page, that is in the TestBot's
Patches table. Each entry gets the patch subject and a disposition property
indicating what the TestBot did with the patch. Unfortunately non-Wine patches
are not kept around so there is no way to get at the WTBS fields for those. So
a TestWTBS.patches script would need to get the WTBS properties from another
source.

For instance it could be given the path to the WTBS mbox and get the properties
from there. It would not need to understand all the intricacies of the mbox
format (though with the appropriate Perl module it may be easy to parse). As a
last resort, all we would care about is:
* The 'From' lines to delimit emails.
* The 'Subject:' lines to match the mbox emails with Patches entries.
* The WTBS properties in the commit message following the Subject line.

Checking the patch objects would require an extra property:
* WTBS.Patch.Disposition
  This should be set to the expected patch disposition such as 'No patch
found', 'Not a Wine patch', etc. A default disposition could be set if a
'WTBS.Job.*' or other task property is specified.
