Hi all,
One of the things I've needed for automating the nfsv4 regression tests
is something to look for new patches (and tarballs) in a cron job,
download them, and trigger the tests.
It turns out for hotplug testing I have exactly the same need.
This tool is derived largely from Judith Lebzelter's SourceSync module
from the PLM. I needed something similar, but simpler, that can be run
from the cmdline and doesn't require a database.
Basically, you run it like this:
./package_retriever -d /testing/packages hotplug_pkgs.txt
where hotplug_pkgs.txt might look like this:
PACKAGE: hotplug_cpu
URL: http://sr71.net/patches/
DEPTH: 2
WANTED: patch-2\.6.*gz
NOTWANTED: patch-2\.6\.[89].*gz
NOTWANTED: patch-.*test\d*\.gz
and it downloads new files to /testing/packages/hotplug_cpu/
Anyway, if anyone would find this script useful, I've posted it here:
http://developer.osdl.org/dev/nfsv4/tools/
I'll probably be posting some updates once I've started putting it to
use in the regression testing.
