Hey all, At Cloudwatt/Orange, we have started to package OpenContrail by using the Nix package manager [1] (distro agnostic). Amongst several advantages, it allows you to easily set up development environments, build (with reliability) and run test virtual machines (for CI gates for instance).
Suppose you have Nix installed [2] and cloned the nixpkgs-contrail repository [3]: To get a build environment for the contrail-control R3.2: $ nix-shell ./ -A contrail32.control --option binary-caches http://84.39.63.212 $ unpackPhase && cd $sourceRoot $ scons contrail-control To run an east-west ping test: build a VM, run OC and execute basic tests $ nix-build -A contrail32.test.allInOne --option binary-caches http://84.39.63.212 # --check to force the rebuild The build of this test VM is reliable because all build requires are cached: you can rebuild by reusing unchanged build requires (think about the famous OpenContrail third-party for instance)! This test VM can also be used as a all-in-one contrail VM that can be run interactively. Note some OpenContrail components are also built by using master branches (nix-build -A contrailMaster). Hoping this could help you, Antoine.
