I think we could possibly do a couple of pre-0.25.x pushes to tests alone - I am seeing that Markus is a far way down the path of tracking down some of the issues - Markus? > those down by bisection before, it may be possible.

I guess this means moving it off James' credit card :) That's mostly been my and Luke's business with other stuff. I don't mind the cost too much - it's not huge for test runs - although correct it might wear on me after a while. The other issue is how long they currently take - to run up the test hosts and execute the tests can take up to an hour because we're using small/medium AMIs and they need to be built up a lot. Building our own AMIs with an existing build/test configuration will significantly reduce this obviously - again something I don't have time for but RL might? Perhaps Larry or Teyo - though I know they are both busy too. Luke? Barring this I also still need to make the scripts more resilient - hell they are awfully crude now - and I am sure that Larry or someone who does a lot more unattended builds with EC2 than me could do a much better job of them. They provide the basic make-up though and could easily be adapted into Rake or Rubigen to make them more "standard" and Puppet-like. The irony obviously is that installing and building the test hosts with Puppet seems to have bleed-through to the tests in the check-out and stuff on the local host gets in the way. I am not savvy enough to work out why the local /usr/lib contents are getting pulled in either. :) Regards James Turnbull -- Author of: * Pro Linux Systems Administration (http://tinyurl.com/linuxadmin) * Pulling Strings with Puppet (http://tinyurl.com/pupbook) * Pro Nagios 2.0 (http://tinyurl.com/pronagios) * Hardening Linux (http://tinyurl.com/hardeninglinux)
