[HPDD-discuss] Expanding Build/Test Coverage for community tree

Hello! I have been thinking about ways to extend our build/test coverage beyond the capacity and composition of the HPDD test cluster. Without participating in continuous build/testing, it is easy for regressions affecting options used in the community (architectures, Linux distros or lnds, say) to creep in and only be reported after the responsible changes have landed (and perhaps even a release has gone out) In order to alleviate this somehow, I created a small howto with a handful of scripts that would allow all interested parties to insert their own builders and test scenarios into process from comfort of their own data centers and without full blown additional Jenkins instances and such. The scripts are pretty primitive and single threaded (mostly geared for build testing now), but they do their intended job. All enhancements to make them better handle testing, integrate with web servers to post better output and such are also greatly appreciated. The howto could be located at http://wiki.lustre.org/Simple_Gerrit_Builder_Howto Thanks. Bye, Oleg
