Folks,
This work is much appreciated -- many thanks.

It would be great if someone could set this up to start doing nightly
builds, tests and benchmarks, and make the results available. It would
also be useful to do some 'historical' tests too, perhaps running the
kernel on every Sunday night in the unstable tree all the way back to
the 2.0.

In Samba, we have Build Farm that's essentially a cronjob that will do automated building/testing on a machine and then will post (I believe through rsync) the results to a central server where they can be processed.

This way, anyone with a machine to spare can participate. I'm sure we could do something like that with Xen if someone was able to provide a central server for the site containing the results.

Samba's build farm is located at:

Subject: [Xen-devel] New Xentest automated testing framework snapshot

Here's a new snapshot of the automated build and test tool for Xen. We
are trying to create a tool that will be as simple and lightweight as
possible, while being configurable enough to work with a variety of
tests and environments.  The purpose of this tool is to make it easier
to run tests under Xen on nightly tarball snapshots so that bugs can be
caught and fixed quickly.

It's still a little rough around the edges but should be functional for
a lot of people.  Right now, I have it running well enough on my test
machines that I can kick it off and have it automatically pull down xen, build/boot it, start my VMs and run tests on all of them (and on domain
0).

One major limitation is that initrd doesn't get built, though I'm not
sure if this is a limitation of xentest, or if it would better be
handled by make install from xen.

I would appreciate any feedback on how we might make this more useful,
as we intend to continue working on it and making it available.
