When things work on the autobuilder and not on others systems or visa versa, it can sometimes be painful to track down the differences in the systems. I would like a tool and a wikipage that we can run on autobuilder infrastructure that: - Documents filesystems, bios, /etc/issue, scsi controllers, etc. - Documents auto.conf local.conf bblayers.conf, versions/branches of each. - I would like to to have a lightweight option (poky build system) and a heavy weight option (system itself) - I want this run on every autobuilder after every build and stored with the release artifacts - I want this available in poky so that others can run it and give me this info in their bug reports.
The tool is composed of 2 parts: host: to get information from the host where the build ran as filesystem, kernel, RAID controller, BIOS poky: git hash, layer hash, dump local.conf, auto.conf, bblayers.conf Create a report in xml format or similar Estimate: 6 days development, 3 for each part 4 days to test it
There's no interest in such a feature right now but if you want to create such a facilty, please send a patch or re-open.
