Checking build/test of Go packages

What is this?

This is code to help answer the question "how is the testability and buildability of Go code in the wild". It is implemented as a multi-pronged thing, using Athens as a Go proxy, the server (in cmd/server) as a validator for Athens, and the code in the python/ subdirectory as a docker image in which builds happen.

Data extraction tool

There's also a tool in cmd/tabulate that extracts various numbers from the data.

If you want to run it yourself

You will need to:

• Have docker installed
• Make sure you spin up the athens container, configured to point at the validation server and with a port exposed (otherwise the build wrapper can't reach athens).
• Have a Docker environment file suitable to point the build wrapper at Athens
• Start the server with the relevant arguments (it is hard-coded to ruin on port 8080, if your host's IP is not 192.168.1.2, make sure to pass a URL for the report endpoint with --endpoint).
• Build the docker image containing the Python build-wrapper (if you don't call the resulting image gobuilder:manual, pass whatever you built and tagged it as with --image)

With all of that set up, you can trigger one or more manual seed packages by eiter asking the Athens instance to download them, fake up a validation requiest, or start a build using the gobuilder image.
