It's a good idea, especially with how practically any modern computer can handle many simultaneous VMs with ease. But I would suggest integrating tests into the mix; bugs that break builds are easily identified. More useful would be if we could detect when a change makes OS detection less accurate, or if FIN scan stops working on NetBSD. Maybe something for next SoC... -M On Tue, Jun 1, 2010 at 9:50 AM, jrf <jay.fink () gmail com> wrote:
All, I thought I would share this with everyone in case anyone else was interested in doing something similar. Last week I setup some very simple scripts to do the following with virtual machines: start a screen session and logit power on a vm ssh to a vm and execute a script which then does: svn up of nmap rm -rf previous build (ran into problems running clean) cp -R nmap nmap-build cd nmap-build configure && make power off vm mv the screenlog Then I repeat the process for the next vm. Right now I am only doing two, NetBSD-current (as of 2 weeks ago) and FreeBSD-current. I do periodic updates and builds manually on my physical debian and mac systems anyhow. At this point I am just about ready to automate building on NetBSD, FreeBSD and Linux (the mac not so much as I use it for work :) Anyhow, just something I thought everyone might be interested in. So far the only *problem* I have come across is the subshell on NetBSD is kind of a pain so I switched the build user to bash from pkgsrc.
