h1. Package Install Testing

*Note: package creation is documented [[FOSSology_Packages|here]]*

Package install testing will use virtual machines along with vm templates and snapshots to accomplish the testing in a quick an timely manner.  Snapshots will allow the restore of the system to it's pre-installed state.  This will enable quick turnaround for testing.

Below is the list of VM systems that will be used to test 2.0 package testing:

# fed15-32.ostt

# fed15-64.ostt

# u1043-32.ostt

# u1043-64.ostt

# rhel6-132.ostt

# rhel6-164.ostt

# u1104-32.ostt

# u1104-64.ostt

# ubun111032.ostt

# ubun111064.ostt

# squeze64.ostt

h2. VM Creation

# Use the vm client software (vSphere) to create each vm.  For each vm, load the following additional software:

* Jenkins

* php (including posix features)

* subversion

* java2-runtime (sun version)

* build-essential

* phpUnit "Installing phpUnit":http://www.phpunit.de/manual/current/en/installation.html

* cunit

<pre>

   sudo apt-get install libcunit1 libcunit1-doc libcunit1-dev

</pre>

* libpcre3 and libpcre3-dev

<pre>

  sudo apt-get install libpcre3 libpcre3-dev

</pre>

* others per distro (see below)

# After each vm is installed, it is cloned as a template so that full recovery is faster. 

#  As part of the initial set up, there should already be an existing vm. If needed, convert the template into a VM, see the page [[Converting a VM template to an Install VM]]. 

# After the vm is working and on the network, take a snapshot (with memory) of it using the vm client software.  Take only 1 snapshot.  For example, the rhel6-132.ostt vm was snapshoted as rhel6.1-32-snap1, with description of "rhel6-132.ostt ready for install test".  In the description always use the real full name.

# After the snapshot is saved (it can take a while), enable it with the snapshot manager.  This is an important step.  If this step is not done, after an install a 'revert' will not be to be done and the vm will have to be removed and recreated.

*todo* need a section on snapshots.

h2. Setting up a Jenkins slave node (the vm)

h3. Debian/Ubuntu

* install java2-runtime (sun version)

* install deamon

<pre>

sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jre-headless daemon 

</pre>

* download and install "Jenkins":http://jenkins-ci.org/, use the right bar to select the version, we have used the LTS releases with good results.

* Stop Jenkins and reset jenkins user password to _jenkins_.

* restart jenkins <pre>sudo /etc/init.d/jenkins start</pre>

* change root passwd to the standard.  Ubuntu systems set it so it must be changed.

h3. RedHat/Fedora/CentOS based systems

For all rhel systems, a proxy must be set so yum can reach the outside world.  Modify /etc/yum.conf.

<pre>proxy=http://lart.usa.hp.com:3128</pre>

h4. Fedora

Fedora is the easiest of the rhel based systems.  It contains the material needed above without having to go to other repos (except jenkins).

* add a proxy to yum (see above)

* install material:<pre> yum install php php-process emacs subversion</pre>

h4. Fedora, RedHat/Centos systems:

* download jenkins and get the rpm version we want:

<pre>wget  http://mirrors.jenkins-ci.org/redhat-stable-rc/jenkins-1.424.2.SNAPSHOT-1.1.noarch.rpm</pre>

* install it: <pre>rpm -ivh jenkins-1.424.2.SNAPSHOT-1.1.noarch.rpm</pre>

* change jenkins to have a login: vipw /etc/passwd, change /bin/false to /bin/bash

* change jenkins user password to 'jenkins'.

* put jekins in sudo file (/etc/sudoers) <pre>jenkins ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL</pre>

* remove jenkins.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/, if this is not done, the yum update will fail because we don't have the repo key.  Plus we don't want the latest and greatest jenkins.

* RetroFit RedHat repos

** For redhat systems, go to the linux coe page and create a retrofit program and run it on the system to enable the repos needed.

** if not in any repos configured, get the php-process from centos:

  32 bit: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/i386/Packages/php-process-5.3.3-3.el6_1.3.i686.rpm

  64 bit: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/Packages/php-process-5.3.3-3.el6_1.3.x86_64.rpm

  This is needed as it has posix routines we need for php. This may complain about not having a RSA/SHA1 signature key.

** for 1.4.1 p7zip-plugins was also needed. 

    32 bit: ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/i386/os/Packages/p7zip-plugins-9.20.1-2.fc16.i686.rpm

    64 bit: ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/epel/6/x86_64/p7zip-plugins-9.20.1-2.el6.x86_64.rpm

** install php: yum install php

** install posix support for php: <pre>yum install php-process or rpm -ivh correct-rpm file for system</pre>

* If you can't talk to apache or postgres over the network: Add this to /etc/sysconfig/iptables: <pre>-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --sport 80 -j ACCEPT

-A OUTPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 5432 -j ACCEPT</pre>

The above will enable apache and postgres

now as jenkins sudo <pre>/etc/init.d/postgresql start</pre> works.
