Hi, just summarize actual set of possible tests we need before RTI (I will be on vacation the next 10 days, so others can work on it):
For both main platforms (SPARC and x86): a) nightly builds b) bfu boxes and redoing nightly builds on them c) using updated bfu and bfu already bfued boxes and fresh boxes and doing nightly builds on them d) use boxes from c) for SFW nightly builds All these steps I did for previous code drop successfully, but with the latest set I was not able to complete it yet (Roland received nightly log from one of these builds) Regression tests: possible by non-Sun community members: 1) http://opensolaris.org/os/community/testing/testfarm/ http://opensolaris.org/os/community/testing/selftest/ - use those tests available there 2) tests proposed by James Carlson: ---- - Modify a normally-installed SXCE system by copying over just the binaries from this project (_not_ BFU). Then use Live Upgrade to upgrade an ABE to the next build (manually modified to include the project bits), activate that BE, and reboot. This should provide minimal assurance that the upgrade scripts and post-reboot actions all work properly. It's fairly straightforward work. - Modify a normally-installed OpenSolaris system by copying over just the binaries from this project. Then use the "pkg image-update" command to upgrade the system to a private repository containing the modified bits and reboot. (I don't know off-hand how hard it is to create modified repositories; asking the OpenSolaris team for help would probably be the right next step.) ---- Not sure about the second because OpenSolaris is python based packaging system and "SMF scripts" are not in ON gate. If somebody from OpenSolaris team is willing to do such testing, we can give them source code, packages, archives, everything they need. The same is for all other OpenSolaris project based distros. 3) manual unit tests of all CRs which will be included in this RTI (Roland should complete set of them) Set of tests only Sun internals can do (so probably I): I. the rest of STEP test suites (the previous code drop passed the most of them without problem) available on diy. II. UNIX98 and UNIX03 std tests (as the most important) Some additional ideas? Best regards, Milan
