Test infrastructure

who is here?

• 1 freebsd person
• 1 openwrt/coreboot
• many debian people
• 1 tails person

SUMMARY OF TODOS/MINUTES

1. tests.reproducible-builds.org test setup
   • get ride of iframes – talking to “u” about it
2. reproducing testing set up
   • vagrant can try setting up a test set up for the builders themselves, then freebsd can try to replicate the same environments
   • lynsis: document how to build openwrt2 – change the openwrt script and coreboot script so that is doesn’t depend on debian
   • tails will make a link of the results of testing tails iso so we can link from tests.r-b.org
3. merge the postgres code and create new schema
   • change to postgres
   • make a script to update schema design
4. notes
   • cross distro notes?
   • way to mark a package as fixed in notes, and not display them?
   • ways to specific whether issue is debian specific
5. making the database schema more cross distro friendly
   • CPE – unique identifier / match names of packages across distros
6. other people doing reproducible tests and reporting back
   • Holger wants them to provide yaml files
   • lynxis thinks kernelci.org is cool – has an API for accepting results of kernel builds and boots

raw minutes

• the other project problems using jenkins test set up
  • cannot reproduce the test set up?
  • simpler to replicate the jenkins test environment – too many debian dependencies?
  • bash scripts long and complicated – maybe break out important parts so less intimidating to other potential contributors?
• debian test.reproducible-builds.org
  • get rid of iframes
  • the present group less interested in talking about usability
• scripts for creating different environments for projects (Aspirational)
  • debian –> hopefully build once and compare against the debian archive
  • one freebsd person / fedora –> system.d container
  • one openwrt/coreboot –> build on debian
• lots and lots of talk about wanting to test jenkins
• what can we do right now:
  • external test set up to feed to postgres
  • jernalci project? linux kernel testing? hardware set up for reporting things back? make can use similar style api?
  • other job: maybe create yaml and send tests.r-b.org to display. like tails? tails is builing iso twice and producing diffoscope result

TAILS:

• at some point tails will give link to redirect the tails test page

DEBIAN:

• compare the builds to the debian builders
• NOTES / YAML file
  • want: cross distro notes
  • currently SOME notes are debian specific
  • CPE – match names of packages across distros – unique idenfier of a package.
