Re: [gentoo-dev] automated testing framework for Gentoo on Supercell at the OSL

In a nutshell, Supercell allows projects to spin up their own VMs on demand using Ganeti Web Manager [2]. Sounds great, I'd like to use it for my Briegel buildsystem (not Gentoo related, somewhat similar to portage, but more for embedded targets) running mass-buildtests. cu -- -- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weig...@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 -- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme --

* Markos Chandras hwoar...@gentoo.org schrieb: My suggestion, as I said to fosdem, is to freeze, or take a snapshot if you like, of the current tree, stabilize what you need to stabilize, test the whole tree ( at least compile wise ) for a couple of weeks and then replace the existing stable tree. hmm, would it make sense to add a new masking for the testing tree, so users could decide which stability grade vs they wish ? or perhaps use overlays for that ? For example, I'd like to have the critical packages (everything that's needed to bootup and do basic remote maintenance) from the new frozen-stable tree, but other things should stay as they are. cu -- -- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weig...@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 -- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme --

* Duncan 1i5t5.dun...@cox.net schrieb: The above suggestion sounds to me like increasing the bureaucracy and hassle of stabilizing packages even more. We already have trouble with outdated stable, especially on some archs. Do we /really/ want the reputation of competing with Debian-stal^hble for staleness? Well, I often have cases where the stable tree breaks something or requires deeper manual intervention. That doesn't make fun when maintaining dozens of systems. So a more-stable tree (hmm, perhaps call it 'mature' ;-)) would be a big win. I could also imagine doing that on per-package basis. Lets say, somehow automatically export the last time of unresolved bugs per ebuild to some sane place in the portage tree (eg. some new file in the per-package subdirs) so people could script up something that automatically maintains package.mask ? cu -- -- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weig...@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 -- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme --

Last breakage which really got me upset was php, but that's already some time ago. the ini file issue ? With Gentoo you should update on fairly regular intervals, and have the time inbetween as short as possible, but 2 or 3 weeks appears to be fine. I myself have a cronjob that syncs every night, and mails me the output of emerge -Dupv world. When this list gets too large, it's typically about time to do some updating. I've automatized even a bit more: my cron script also automatically rebuilds the packages I have explicitly whitelisted in my /etc/portage/package.autoupdate file. Let me know if anyone likes to have it. I have masked new major releases of PostgreSQL and MySQL for instance, and of course Python 3. /me too. Perhaps we can find a way to make the update safe (so eg. new postmaster is installed along the old one) and provide some migration tool ? cu -- -- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weig...@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 -- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme --

[gentoo-dev] Rewrite java-config in C++ or python
Hi dev, I am Uditha Galgamuwa from university of moratuwa,Sri Lanka.I am interested in the project idea Rewrite java-config in C++ or python which was in last year Gsoc.As I saw this project has not been implemented in Gsoc 2010.Will this be available for this year's idea list from Gentoo foundation? I have good knowledge on programming with java and some knowledge on C++ and a basic understanding about XSLT as well. Thank you very much Uditha.
