I was actually thinking it might be nice to have staging as more of a fluid
concept using VMs. We could set up a semi-permanent staging VM that gets
updated with trunk of everything every {day, week, whatever}, but also have
other VMs available for upgrade testing, and testing individual changes.
That way, for instance, if you need to test a dispatcher change that
affects a certain type of board you don't have at home, you can simply wait
for one of those boards to become available in the lab, mark it offline,
bring up a vm and do some testing with it. Likewise, it could be used to
setup and test an invasive change to the dashboard. All that would be
required is a few static port mappings on the firewall, and a server capable
of handling a few KVM sessions (which I'd like to look at getting soon for
this purpose and others).
Thanks,
Paul Larson
