A little toolkit to help in testing X.org Xserver
This little toolkit aims helping building and testing Xorg in a jail.
As for now (as host as well as jail) only Debian-based distros supported, for jailing just schroot. But much more planned for the future.
The idea is giving testers a tool for installing latest Xorg directly from git heads, so they don't need to do this manually, anymore.
For the future also planned adding test cases that can be run automatically. Possibly also test cycle automation (eg. via labgrid), so one doesn't even need to manually log on individual DUTs anymore.
- GNU/Linux (apt-based, eg. Debian)
- FreeBSD 14
- NetBSD 10
- OpenBSD 7.5
- Illumos: OpenIndiana Hipster
- git (for cloning this repo)
- bash (this script)
- on NetBSD: pkgin
- anything else should be pulled in automatically
- all configs residing under
./etcsubdirectory - some site specific things can be configured in
etc/site.cf etc/hosts/there's one config per host type (as used in $HOST_OS insite.cf)etc/targets/there's one config per target type (as used in $TARGET_ID insite.cf)
- currently just building basic Xserver: placed under
/usr/local - call
build-tesing-jailfor that - NOTE: this will automatically install few host packages (schroot, mdebootstrap, ...)
- NOTE: if started as non-root, it will ask for password (sudo)
- chroot's are stored under
$HOST_CHROOT_DIR(default/var/chroots/xorg-testing/) - in worst case the chroot can always be removed (
/var/chroots/xorg-testing/<TARGET_ID>) - forcing re-clone and rebuild: remove the git clone (in chroot, under
/srv/xorg-testing/...) as well as the corresponding*.DONEfile - automatic rebuild also happens when the HEAD of the package's git clone changes (eg. pulled, committed or changed branch)
It's all pretty early yet. If you encounter any problems or like to have enhancements, feel free to submit bug reports or pull requests.
