Hi there,
As part of a more participatory and therefore hopefully better Quality
Assurance, I have created a series of Docker images for some 13
platforms (in codenames);
* squeeze through sid
* santiago through maipo
* heisenbug through rawhide
* precise through vivid
These Docker images' purpose is purely Development and Quality Assurance
for now, meaning that their entrypoints have been set up to run the most
tests thinkable;
* ./configure with everything enabled,
* "relaxed" vs. "strict" make,
* make check,
* a Cassandane run [1].
That said, tests are built to fail, and so I've documented the process
including the steps to get an interactive shell:
https://docs.cyrus.foundation/imap/developer/docker.html
I believe this could also aid our developers in enabling them to easily
run the target platform (for a certain bug or issue).
If you have Docker running or could easily fire it up, please consider
humouring me and executing your distro of interest, and giving it a
star;
https://registry.hub.docker.com/repos/cyrusimapd/
and giving me a task for the distro of your interest not included;
https://git.cyrus.foundation/
I'm also specifically interested in feedback from our Solaris and *BSD
users -- whether they are able to run Docker and whether we could target
using the same set of scripts to execute builds and continuous
integration on those platforms in a similar manner.
I'm hoping for all of this to become the next generation of continuous
integration for the Cyrus project, with Jenkins / Travis CI becoming a
distant second/third.
Anyone else interested in Docker is free to join the project I've
created for it;
https://git.cyrus.foundation/project/view/12/
Some of the things we'll be figuring out as we go may include;
* Running a (certain) version of Cassandane tests against a (certain)
version of Cyrus IMAP,
* Exporting/uploading legible/parseable test results to
Phabricator/Harbormaster/DryDock,
* Whatever tickles your fancy.
Enjoy!
Kind regards,
Jeroen van Meeuwen
[1]: For those of you unaware of what Cassandane is -- it is the
functional test suite for Cyrus IMAP.
