Our team develops application. As this application intended to run on Debian we've done it in a proper Debian way - via .deb packages. If it's important, app is written in C++/Python and code is stored in Git.
We have private Debian repo where I place snapshot and release versions (approach taken from Java world):
- appname-1.2-SNAPSHOT.deb
- appname-1.2.1.deb
Now some of developers has branched, has wrote the code and finally is creating pull request. By pull request I want to trigger the testing of his work - make sure it is not so bad to go to master branch. So I am creating the VM and.. what should I install from Debian repo before triggering the test? What is the best practice?
