The OSDL provides two services to aid in development processes: The Patch Lifecycle Manager (PLM) and the Scalable Test Platform (STP). Recent releases allow software other than the linux kernel to be actively tested.
PLM (http://www.osdl.org/plm-cgi/plm) can be used for storing a series of patches against any source tree or other patches, in this case the database source code. STP (http://www.osdl.org/stp) can be used to test the patches stored in PLM with various tests on 4- and 8-way IA-32 systems. Currently the only test taking advantage of the recent enhancements is DBT-2, an OLTP workload labeled dbt2-pgsql in STP. I'm currently working on getting DBT-3, a decision support workload, working with the recent release of STP. In addition to PLM and STP, the OSDL provides hardware resources free of charge.
