Automated Build Infrastructure

Automated Build Infrastructure

[Richard Holden]

Does anyone have any scripts to kick off compilation when Stephen  
releases a new linux-next? I've started to plan out my own but wanted  
to see if anyone had something first so I don't reinvent the wheel.

In case it helps, your most reliable trigger would be the LATEST-IS file
in http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/sfr/linux-next/
changing.  I think Randy Dunlap (cc'd) has some stuff.

Hi,

My scripts are available in
   http://www.xenotime.net/linux/scripts/

The scripts are:  grab_kernel (for mainline), grab_next (for -next),
and get-mmotm (for mmotm).  They all work with tarballs and patches,
not git trees.  get-mmotm requires an mainline tree for its patch
series to be applied to.  The 'kcurrent' script tells me what
linux-next or mmotm applies to:

The latest stable version of the Linux kernel is:           2.6.27.6
The latest prepatch for the stable Linux kernel tree is:    2.6.28-rc5
The latest snapshot for the stable Linux kernel tree is:    2.6.28-rc5-git1
The latest 2.4 version of the Linux kernel is:              2.4.36.9
The latest prepatch for the 2.4 Linux kernel tree is:       2.4.37-rc2
The latest 2.2 version of the Linux kernel is:              2.2.26
The latest prepatch for the 2.2 Linux kernel tree is:       2.2.27-rc2
The latest -mm patch to the stable Linux kernels is:        2.6.28-rc2-mm1
mmotm-2008-1114-2050 ... applies to: 2.6.28-rc4
next-20081114 ... applies to: v2.6.28-rc4

grab_kernel downloads & applies any mainline kernel (except for
-stable kernels); it knows how to apply -rc & -git patches (zipped).

If you have any questions about them, just ask.

OK, these scripts don't do the automated kickoff part.
For that, I'm using Crucible (crucible.sf.net).
The scripts are all in the subversion repository at sf.net.

Hi,
Here are 2 other options for you (besides Crucible, which may be
overkill for this task).  The first one uses git.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

A.  From:	Nico -telmich- Schottelius <nico-linux-next@schottelius.org>
To:	linux-next@vger.kernel.org
Subject: Script to automatically build and test linux-next locally
Date:	Tue, 29 Jul 2008 17:57:28 +0200

Hello!

Just wanted to share this [0] script for easy rebuild with others, who
build their kernel quite regullary, like I do.

Sincerly,

Nico

[0]: http://unix.schottelius.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=nsbin;a=blob;f=linux-next-build.sh;h=a53aac2e3d5df099fa5cf0f7e3c65f62bc02ccc0;hb=HEAD


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

B.  I just added 2 small scripts to my library of many scripts:
wait4next and build_next.  They use the scripts that I mentioned above.

The usage is simply:  build_next 20081130

build_next waits for the target linux-next to be available (defaults to the
current day's version), downloads it (using grab_next mentioned above),
then kicks off some builds of it.  You can customize the builds part
as you see fit.  I use it to kick off a bunch of randconfig builds.
