Hi all,

Is anyone interested in getting some type of automated Gentoo testing
framework setup on the new Supercell infrastructure [1] at the OSUOSL?
In a nutshell, Supercell allows projects to spin up their own VMs on
demand using Ganeti Web Manager [2].

For those who don't know, a lot of infrastructure at the OSL runs on
Gentoo (including Supercell) and there are two Gentoo devs working
full-time for the OSL so I think we have a good chance of getting access
to some of Supercell's resources if we can come up with a decent
proposal and submit a feedback form [3].

Hi Tim,

Yes, I would definitely be interested in having some spare vms to run
some automated tests etc. Probably other QA member would be interested
as well

I'd be really interested in something that ends up as a howto on
automated testing / tinderboxing / etc.

I know that a few have had some success in this area (most notably
Diego of course). It would be really nice if there were a
step-by-step guide for doing various types of build tests on a vm of
some kind.

Bonus points if we can somehow logically split up a whole-tree build
into segments based on dependencies and run them on parallel
instances. Of course, that will miss unexpected automagic
dependencies and collisions.

Sounds great, I'd like to use it for my Briegel buildsystem
(not Gentoo related, somewhat similar to portage, but more for
embedded targets) running mass-buildtests.
