This package contains the build2 repository web interface.

build2 is an open source, cross-platform toolchain for building and packaging
C++ code. Its aim is a modern build system and dependency manager for the C++
language that provide a consistent, out of the box interface across multiple
platforms and compilers. For more information see:

  * The build-toolchain-email configuration option can now be used to specify
    per-toolchain values.

  * New search-description configuration option.

Version 0.16.0

  * Note: brep_build database schema migration from version 18 is unsupported.

  * Support for build artifact upload.

  * Support for *-package-config package manifest value functionality.

Version 0.13.0

  * Support for the alternative package rebuild timeout.

    The alternative rebuild timeout can be used to "pull" the rebuild window
    to the specified time of day, for example, to optimize load and/or power
    consumption of the build infrastructure (off-work hours, solar, off-peak
    electricity tariffs, etc).

    issues. Currently it only reports build delays. See brep-monitor(1) for
    details.

  * Unbuilt configurations are now displayed on the package version details
    page.

  * Support for marking internal repositories as non-buildable.

Version 0.11.0

  * Support for displaying Markdown package descriptions.

  * Support for displaying new package manifest values: 'upstream-version',
    'topics', and 'keywords.

  * Various page style cleanups and improvements.

    to be clever about it.

Version 0.7.0

  * Make package name case-insensitive.

  * Support for specifying custom warning detection regular expressions.

  * Support for displaying doc-url and src-url package manifest values.

Version 0.5.0

    VistualHost, and Location levels.

    etc/brep-module.conf file for details.

  * Use serializable transaction isolation, handle recoverable database errors
    (deadlock, loss of connection, etc).

    per web server process. See comments in the etc/brep-module.conf file for
    details.

  * Ability to specify the maximum number of times to retry database
    transactions. See comments in the etc/brep-module.conf file for details.
