Personally, I would like to see: -> integration of automated kyua testing with the FreeBSD release engineering process -> more involvement from FreeBSD developers, and even companies such as EMC/Isilon, who can: -> write tests -> suggest and implement new tests (network, storage, VM, etc.) -> help with devops maintenance of the existing jenkins.freebsd.org cluster -> improve bhyve support in libvirt -> set up their own Jenkins build environments outside of FreeBSD, and help test things in their own private environments I've had requests for; -> running tests in bhyve VM's with very small memory footprints (Adrian Chadd) -> running tests in MIPS environment (Adrian Chadd) -> running Java JDK tests (Kip Macy) -> i386 builds (Garrett Cooper) There are a lot of different directions to take this, but without more people (and companies) pitching in and helping out, progress is limited by bodies working on the stuff. I will be at the MeetBSD Vendor summit (not the conference) Nov. 3-4, so hopefully anyone interested in pushing this stuff forward can talk to me there. -- Craig
