Hello friends,
after several weeks of silence I'm proud to announce v0.1.0 of the Xorg testing ground (*1). Besides a lots of little fixes and tweaks (eg. keeping up w/ changes on some platforms, building more drivers on debian, ...), there's a also a new feature: * Deploying VMs of foreign OSes and running the tool inside them :) * Previous releases were only designed to be run inside existing OS installations (bare metal or VM). That's fine if one already has those running anyways, but tedious if one (like myself) doesn't and just wants to confirm everything builds fine on all platforms. That's where the new `vm-boot-*` and `vm-buildjob-*` scripts come in: Calling `vm-boot-XXX` script will automatically fetch an VM template image for the platform XXX, create a new VM disk image and boots it. Once booted, the corresponding `vm-buildjob-XXX` script ssh's into that VM, copies the tool into it and runs it there. (images are kept between the runs - for starting afresh just delete the image) Currently supported VM templates: * FreeBSD 14.2 * NetBSD 10.1 * Illumos Hipster Contributions for other platforms or other modes of operation are always welcomed. git repo: https://github.com/X11Libre/xorg-testing git tag: v0.1.0 Have fun, --mtx *1) https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2024-June/059249.html -- --- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult Free software and Linux embedded engineering i...@metux.net -- +49-151-27565287
