I'd be quite helpful to have nightly builds in form of Debian `.deb`
packages.
* <http://noone.org/talks/vcs-buildd/> (german)
* Need to have an automation to get from Hurd upstream Git branches to
a branch usable in Debian.
IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2013-12-18:
<teythoon> http://darnassus.sceen.net/~teythoon/hurd-ci/ has hurd and
mig and gnumach packages built directly from the upstream git
repository
---
There is infrastructure available to test whole OS installations.
* <http://www.os-autoinst.org/>
---
[[Debian_Cross_Toolchain]] for cross-building?

# Debian Jenkins Instance
## IRC, OFTC, #debian-hurd, 2014-02-24
<pere> hi. can hurd be installed using d-i? If so, what about scripting
the installation on <URL:
http://jenkins.debian.net/view/g-i-installation/ >?
<gnu_srs> pere: d-i works for Hurd, yes, with full graphical interface I
dunno. Maybe you can ask about scripting in #hurd, more people are
present there?
<pere> gnu_srs: the scripts in questions are for jenkins. quite easy to
write (d-i preseed scripts and qemu boot rules).
## IRC, OFTC, #debian-hurd, 2014-02-25
<pere> getting a automated test in jenkins running could show the status.
what is needed to boot the hurd d-i image with a preseed file using qemu?
<pere> git://git.debian.org/git/users/holger/jenkins.debian.net.git is the
repo with the jenkins build rules.
<pere> youpi: is it possible to start the hurd d-i installer with a preseed
file from the qemu command line? --append need --kernel, which I suspect
do not make sense with hurd?
<pere> can the d-i hurd installer take a preseed file at all? my initial
try failed. :(
<teythoon> i don't know
<teythoon> there has been talk here the other day about using qemus
multiboot capabilities to directly boot the hurd
[[debugging_gnumach_startup_qemu_gdb]], *Multiboot*
<teythoon> i always wanted to try that out
<pere> the jenkins rules to test the install uses --kernel, --initrd and
--append in qemu to specify the preseed file. without a similar method
to boot hurd, it will be hard to automate the test. rewriting the iso
might be an option, but not a very nice one.
<teythoon> i believe that it is possible to use those options to boot a
hurd
<teythoon> i'll report back to you
<pere> I tried adding an url= option to grub when booting the installer,
but it seem to be ignored.
<pere> I suspect it did not make it to /proc/cmdline, but am not sure.
<teythoon> um
<teythoon> it should
<pere> could be. I am unable to get a shell in the installer, so I do not
know.
<teythoon> root@pluto ~ # cat /proc/cmdline
<teythoon> root=device:hd0s1
<teythoon> oh ? select expert install, then spawn a shell or something
<pere> perhaps the preseed udeb is missing, or the network support was
enabled after preseed looked for the file?
<teythoon> uh, i don't know about that stuff, youpi creates the d-i images
<pere> ok. seem to me that the d-i images do not support preseeding at the
moment.
<teythoon> pere: when i try to use qemus multiboot support to boot the
hurd, qemu crashes :/
<teythoon> youpi: ^ did you succeed? if so, can you share how?
<pere> teythoon: nope, I concluded it didn't work, and left it to other to
fix. :)
<youpi> pere, teythoon: IIRC preseeding can be put on the gnumach kernel
command line
<youpi> but I'm wondering why you can't simply modify the disk image into
doing what you want
<youpi> or you mean reinstalling the image each time?
<pere> youpi: the point is testing the installer, and that can only be done
by using the installer. :)
<youpi> ok
<pere> I would like to see something like <URL:
http://jenkins.debian.net/view/g-i-installation/job/g-i-installation_debian_sid_daily_lxde/lastBuild/
> for hurd.
