xorg-testing ground on Illumos

[Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult]

Hi folks,


I've recently written a tool for building and testing Xorg mainline
(directly from git) on various platforms (*1) in isolation (jail/chroot)

The goal is making it easy for testers on actual hardware: just press
a button, get some coffee and let it build the whole stack fully
automatically (creates a chroot environment automatically)

Meanwhile also added support for Illumos (not yet released).

Builds fine, but didn't yet have the time to check whether the Xserver
actually runs. (too busy with too many other things :o)

Maybe somebody here likes to try it out:


https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/metux/xorg-testing/-/tree/illumos?ref_type=heads

If you look carefully, you'll see several packages coming from different
branches: the incubators are holding patches on the way to mainline.



have fun,

I did some attempts and modified the chroot enviroment to use boot environments. I think this is a little bit easier and works faster than plain chroot.
Now I had to see how to test the bits in the location /usr/local/
Thanks for your work!
