Development Zones The OpenSolaris Test Farm virtual machine interface is ready for use by OpenSolaris contributors. This interface allows users to reserve whole root development zones where they can build and test software prior to contributing to the OpenSolaris code base. Damian Wojsław and Michal Bielicki from the Software Porters Community will be managing the first two zone servers.
Currently, the zones utilize Solaris Express builds, but we will be switching to native OpenSolaris builds in a few weeks. We also will be adding xVM and LDOM servers that will support OpenSolaris guest accounts. Open Access In addition to adding these new development and test resources, we have changed the access requirements so that any OpenSolaris user can access the test farm (ie. the Sun Contributor Agreement is no longer needed to access most of the machines). OpenSolaris users can access the test farm at: http://test.opensolaris.org/testfarm Information on the OpenSolaris test farm is at: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/testing/testfarm Information on the test farm zone implementation is at: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/testing/testfarm/zones Other recent test farm development includes: - user group access control - short, medium and long term account reservations - email notifications - server live upgrades - better user login statistics - better account history tracking - remote desktop testing Cheers, Jim _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
