Bug 591034 – VM request: a new VM for testing building Gentoo packages with clang/LLVM

• Product: Gentoo Infrastructure
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description zhanglei.april 2016-08-11 15:27:02 UTC]

This is related to GSoC project: native clang support.

I need a dedicated VM to build all Gentoo packages with clang (on top of LLVM-based C++ runtime libs), in the hope of discovering potentially broken packages in Gentoo's archive.

There was a similar effort by Debian: http://clang.debian.net/

Do you want to do automatic builds? If so, you may want to talk to Toralf (CC-ing him) who does a lot of tinderboxing for Gentoo.

lu_zero:
The VM is online at clangtest.dev.gentoo.org; you should be able to login as root already. Please note:
- There is no IPv4 connectivity, this is a strictly IPv6 box.
- There are no backups of this VM.
- The VM will be wiped at the end of September. All work should be documented and reproducible elsewhere (to create a sustainable process).

I cannot find any SSH public key on file for your student, as they did not request an account of vulture or a Gentoo git repo. Can you please confirm & provide a key for the VM? Don't just add it yourself, as we want a record of it so it doesn't get nuked later.

Cool!

Once the packages, profile and stage3 for native clang are all in good shape (I'm still working on it), perhaps you can setup a new image to test packages against clang/llvm?

How should I send my SSH public key to you? By email or as an attachment in this thread?

Indeed.
Just ping me on IRC (I'm "toralf") - if you are ready.

Lei's key is added, both lu_zero and Lei should be able to login.
