Hello friends,
I've just released v0.0.4 of the Xorg testing ground kit, which is now
also supporting Illumos (OpenIndiana).
[ Special call out to the Solaris community: I'd love to also support
other distros (eg. Tribblix), as well as the commerial Solaris, but
that's a bit overreaching my capacities - so any help from Solaris
experts is highly welcomed.
And if any Sun/Oracle engineer or offical getting this message,
please get in touch with me.
]
As like with the other platforms, it automatically detects the host type
via uname and automatically selects Illumos/OpenIndiana as target
platform (unless explicitly configured otherwise).
Currently supported platforms:
* GNU/Linux (apt-based)
* FreeBSD 14
* NetBSD 10
* OpenBSD 7.5
* Illumos: OpenIndina Hipster
(feel free to send patches, if you're missing one :))
I'd recommend all Xorg testing volunteers getting in touch with me
for further coordination and improvements.
git repo:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/metux/xorg-testing/
have fun,

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,
