Tracking ref images being refreshed

Every time we do a relevant change to buildbot-tac.py we have to update the build-tools repo on the ref images (through puppet on linux/darwin builders and manually on all others) and then ask IT to refresh the images (either builders or testers).

  • NOTE: Do not ask to refresh the linux/windows ref VMs.
  • NOTE: Make sure that /builds/slave and ~talos-slave (or equivalent) is empty on the ref machine for the buildbot-tac.py generator to work (TODO: test that this is true for testing machines)
  • NOTE: before imaging a fedora system, empty out /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. Note that this file will be re-filled at every boot, so this will need to happen before each image is taken. See bug 636069.

repoman repo generation

These machines are used to generate our linux yum/deb/zypper/<insertrepohere> repositories

Post Image procedure

The steps IT takes after cloning a system can be found in PostImage.

The steps to run a slave through staging then put it into production can be found at ReleaseEngineering/How To/Set Up a Freshly Imaged Slave as well as by looking at the per platform docs from the table above.

Testing machines

{fed,fed64,leopard,snow,xp} test machines come up into the production pool after cloning, with no additional steps required (make sure you have updated graphserver, and checked in patches for opsi, puppet, graphserver, and build configs for the masters). If a fed{32,64} or mac box doesn't come online, check PostImage for setting hostname. Win7 32-bit currently doesn't have OPSI and needs the buildbot.tac file to be edited manually and a reboot.

  • Check that "bluetooth" and screen saver are disabled as IT could miss it in PostImage. Otherwise, you will have tests that loose focus.

Staging machines

  • The ref platforms are pointing to production masters (OPSI and puppet)
  • Change the following on them
    • TODO add link

Geriatric Machines

  • XP - Non-SSE2 Testing
  • Fedora - Non-SSE2 Testing
  • 10.5 - PPC Testing
  • 10.5-Xserve - PPC Testing using Xserve build reference image
