Hi All,

We would like to make sure that SystemTap functions correctly on a variety of 
architectures and distributions.  There is a simple minded script in the cvs 
repository tests/tools/stap_testing that downloads the current source code in 
the cvs repository, compiles it, installs it in a local directory, runs the 
"make installcheck" tests, and mail test results when the tests complete. It 
will also generate coverage information about what parts of the translator are 
execised by the testing. This script needs root permission to run the scripts 
and needs to be adapted for local conditions, e.g. elfutils source is stored.

Currently, I have this script running regularly on the following system:

-FC5 i686 (pentium m)
-FC6/rawhide i686 (dual processor piii)
-FC6/rawhide x86_64 (AMD64)
-RHEL5 i686 (Athlon)
-RHEL5 x86-64 (Xeon HT)

The running is just set up as a crontab job 4:30am EDT

30 04 * * * /home/wcohen/bin/stap_testing wcohen@redhat.com >& /tmp/stap_testing.log

It would be good to have similar testing to make sure that systemtap is running 
other architectures, e.g. ia64 and powerpc. Other people doing regular runs of 
the tests. If so, what other architectures and distributions are people running 
the tests on?

-Will

Hien, used to run these tests weekly once on Monday's on PPC platform 
with that weekends SystemTap snapshot after he left we have not done 
tests in a consistent fashion. We are trying to fill that gap now, i 
will let you know as soon as we find the right person to do this.

 I am running the stap_testing script on S390x,  Not nightly, but I will 
set that up.

Is "make installcheck" the right test to run? In the past make check 
just ran compiler tests, the runtime tests were in /test.  /test has 
been obsoleted.  Have all the tests been moved to /src and run with the 
install check?

The /tests module is obsolete and all the tests moved from /tests to 
/src/testsuite. The /test/tools/stap_testing has been adjusted to work with the 
current tests in /src.

"make check" just translator checks (can run as normal user)
"make installcheck" all the /src/testsuite tests (needs root permissions)
