General Soyuz-related content classes and tests can be found at lp.soyuz

However the the entire system depends on other components:

Upload server

The upload server is a custom zope FTP daemon which the only purpose is to isolate upload sessions.

Source building

This component results in the launchpad-buildd packages which is basically consistent of an custom version of sbuild with a XMLRPC-based control layer.

Uploading processing

The upload processor job runs every 5 minutes processing all ftp uploads.

Among other tasks, this job check the upload content/metadata consistency (usual dak-inherited checks) and archive version coherency.

The result is a upload queue records, containing a source or binary package release, that will be announced via email according it's status: REJECTED | NEW | UNAPPROVED | ACCEPTED.

Build dispatching

Published sources are dispatched to launchpad-buildds instantly and collected as binary uploads (.changes + N .deb).

Archive publishing

Virtually any Source or Binary release can be published in a given Archive.
