Seems like you have quite some experience here. From my limited experience so far we seem to test against the following boxes: - Distro boxes with set of well known distro kernels - Some default distro box with set of stable kernels and net/net-next. For the distro tests we should be able to reuse existing boxes and just provision the right kernel package onto them before running check-kmod and check-kernel. My 1 minute search to do this came up with vagrant-reload: https://github.com/exratione/vagrant-provision-reboot So we could take default chef boxes and just up/downgrade kernels. The upstream stable kernels probably require individual boxes built with packer. As for net and net-next we would need a special bootstrap which compiles and installs kernel. I have something I use locally for net-next that we might be able to reuse but I'd need to clean it up a bit. Is there any advantage of having the boxes on S3 rather than Atlas or vice versa? > An alternative would be to do something like this: > > https://gist.github.com/4e371d8fd860a4987cee > > Which - assuming a script is used to compile the correct Kernel - would > result in N Fedora VMs named "fedora20-3.17.7" > An obvious flaw in my Gist is that the VM name doesn't include whether DPDK > has been installed or not. > > Vagrantfiles are just a Ruby DSL, so you can use normal Ruby in here to do > some very cool stuff I absolutely love this. An obvious further multi-distro extension would be: distros = [ {name=>"fedora", bootstrap=>$bootstrap_fedora}, [...] ]; for distros.times do |d| for kernels.times do |k| [...] end end _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
