Regarding distro testing on which we have separate Testopia testcases in OE-Core, we need a setup that could be easily implemented by any user that needs this feature. The basic idea is to offer buildbot/yocto-autobuilder setup on which to trigger nightly-world builds on supported distributions for commits/branches under test. From a QA POV this helps tracking performance on supported distributions and any problems regarding latest distribution package updates. Ideally all machines should have same HW setup for performance relevance.
This feature will be mostly based on AB scenarios and buildsets. A QA Distro buildset will be created adding relevant scenarios. We'll have to make sure that the scenarios are available for each slave and not just cross triggered.
Starting from 1.6 M3 RC2 we have Distro Testing enabled.
Hi I don't know if this bug needs user documentation changes. It is not apparent to me. Could someone advise on this? Scott
Hi, After discussing this bug's doc situation with Richard and Paul it was decided we do not need to update the user documentation. I am marking the documentation flag to "No." Scott
