What Charles said ;) Generally (for any random OS) it is about a couple of things: * Getting build environment/prerequisites set up as needed: - reading NUT docs/config-prereqs.txt can go a long way for many OSes that CI regularly tests (or does not to regularly, but were touched upon once since that document started): section K in the rendered docs at https://networkupstools.org/docs/user-manual.chunked/index.html - reading OS packaging recipes, if they define build prerequisites and procedure (RPM, DEB do) * Getting "configure" script parameters (mostly paths) right, especially if you want to replace the package rather than do a one-off test with a new driver or tool without installing at all (may still want the right sysconfdir, statepath, user/group) - also from packaging recipes
