Package Install Testing¶

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:

1. fed15-32.ostt
2. fed15-64.ostt
3. u10-043-32.ostt
4. u10-043-64.ostt
5. rhel6-132.ostt
6. rhel6-164.ostt
7. u1104-32.ostt
8. u1104-64.ostt
9. ubun111032.ostt
10. ubun111064.ostt
11. squeze64.ostt

VM Creation¶

1. Use the vm client software to create each vm. For each vm, load the following additional software:

• Jenkins
• php (including posix features)
• java2-runtime (sun version)
• others per distro (see below)

1. After each vm is installed, it is converted into a template so that recovery is faster.

1. Convert the template into a VM, see the page Converting a VM template to an Install VM.

1. After the vm is working and on the network, take a snapshot of it using the vm client software.

After the template is saved, convert the template to a new vm, follow the steps below, then power off the vm. Take a snapshot of the new, powered off vm, for example, the rhel6-132.ostt vm was snapshotted as fhel6.1-32, with description of "rhel6-132.ostt ready for install test". In the description always use the real full name.

Setting up a slave node in Jenkins¶

Debian¶

• install java2-runtime (sun version)
• install deamon
  

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

• download and install jenkins: Jenkins, 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.
need to set up ssh authorized key from fonightly.

RedHat/Fedora/CentOS based systems¶

• download jenkins and get the rpm version we want:
  

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

• install it:

  rpm -ivh jenkins-1.424.2.SNAPSHOT-1.1.noarch.rpm

• 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)

  jenkins ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL

• 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.
• 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.
• set a proxy for yum in yum.conf:

  proxy=http://lart.usa.hp.com:3128

• 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:

  yum install php-process or rpm -ivh correct-rpm file for system

• On Fedora, postgresql, posgresql-server both must be installed, then as root or postgres

  service postgresql initdb

  If this is not done, postgres will not start or stop.
  • If you can't talk to apache or postgres over the network: Add this to /etc/sysconfig/iptables:

    -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

The above will enable apache and postgres

now as jenkins sudo

/etc/init.d/postgresql start

works.
