+1 on Michael's suggestion to use dummy_deploy
I've had some conversions with Kevin about his use requirements for LAVA,
and here is a summary:
* For kernel testing, the kernel binary + ramdisk is provided over tftp. I
think he has figured out how to override the boot_cmds so this is not an
issue.
* Would like to utilize lava-test-shell however lava-test-shell makes
assumptions about the rootfs. His idea is provide all the lava-test-shell
support scripts in the ramdisk. All his existing tests are already included
on this ramdisk.
Perhaps we can create another "type" for deployment data called "vanilla"
"actions": [
{
"command": "dummy_deploy",
"parameters": {
"type": "vanilla"
}
},
{
"command": "boot_linaro_image"
}
]
Target.vanilla_deployment_data['distro'] = 'vanilla'
Target.vanilla_deployment_data['lava_test_sh_cmd'] = '/bin/bash'
Target.vanilla_deployment_data['lava_test_dir'] = '???'
Target.vanilla_deployment_data['lava_test_results_part_attr'] = '???'
This "vanilla" target could carry the assumption that the lava-test-shell
support scripts are already on the target...somewhere.
