Changelog
2017-12
- auto cleaning feature
2017-08
- Create Qemu kernel testing image
- Build kernel upon github pull request and git push
- Updated buildbot to 0.9.7
- Added 4.12 4.11 4.10
- Added password file for keeping password safe
Todo (if you have any idea please add it here):
- testing kernel (more testing, more fun. Using more than one testing suite would be better)
- adding more Qemu architecture for testing the kernel on more architecture (qemu-system-arm for example)
- Secure the failure trigger on failure (as now there are some false positive)
- Mailing system (in progress)
- Name the steps (in progress)
auto cleaning feature- Indicate which keywords have been tested and ready to stabilize
Using Github
With Github changes are immediate, there is no need to wait. The result is also display near the commit on Github.
Testing before committing
we can just send a pull request toward a branch with the needed changes to https://github.com/gentoo/linux-patches
Using Git
With git we are using a time check done every 10 minutes.
So the build can take some time before starting.
Testing before committing
making a branch like 4.11_001 will test the new commit in the new branch
root #
git checkout 4.11
root #
git branch 4.11_001
change files
root #
git push -u origin 4.11_001
check buildbot that is building the pushed branch
for removing the branch
root #
git push origin --delete 4.11_001
for removing it locally
root #
git branch -D 4.11_001
Reproducing the enviroment
Adding a worker
Stabilizing
pushing files to git.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git will start to run some test for stabilizing the package.
