People asking me about my code\test cycle so I decided to just have a small
writeup on the list.
Always test on latest stable fedora and RHEL, put yum upgrade -y as a nightly
cron command!
My development storage is a FreeNAS VM (But I will be moving to f17+lio when I
find the time to configure everything and they implement CHAP auth)
For things that have to be tested with a full blown VDSM install I have a
script* that pulls from my git HEAD and installs it on the host. I don't use
rsync because the timestamps confuse Make and might cause my local fedora files
to be packaged by mistake.
I also delete the RPMs and clean install new ones each time. It takes longer
and invokes a libvirt reconfigure each time but it caches a lot of elusive
errors that QE often miss.
Always use yum! The rpm command is much less robust.
This script is meant to work on EL\Fedora that just has git and multipath
installed, and a cloned repo in which your development machine is the origin.
Also note I explicitly clean "/usr/share/vdsm" because locally changed files
don't have the same MD5 hash and might not be removed\replaced by yum.
It takes quite a while but it just makes writing unit tests that much more
appealing :)
Make sure you have sudo rights to the appropriate commands
I hope people find this helpful.
