IPD 1 Virtual Environment for Jenkins Build and Test

To aid in improved efficiency and consistency in the process of integrating changes into illumos-gate, it would help to have the project provide central infrastructure that can run a full nightly build of any particular change. It would also aid in testing to be able to take bits built from that change, boot them in a virtual machine, and run some of our automated test suites.

This project will explore the provision of such infrastructure at https://illumos.org and how to fold it in to our integration process.

Operating System Issues

There are a number of paper cuts that stand in the way of a stream-lined process, some of which represent operating system bugs -- or at least areas where we could make enhancements. A non-exhaustive list appears below:

  • Bug 9985 blkdev devices can have an invalid devid
  • Bug 10012 vioblk should not accept an all-zero serial number
  • Bug 7119 boot should be more resilient to physical path to bootfs changing
  • Bug 1857 "No SOF interrupts have been received..USB UHCI is unusable" under KVM
