Morphix Auto-Tesing Videos
Blog Entry on the Thursday 12th, January, 2006
Some Morphix auto-testing videos are available.
Had fun as the new base has an error with the video mode. So had to change the method of capturing frames so we could see this error in the videos.
Still lots of polish needed but comments welcome.

Autotesting of Autobuilds
Blog Entry on the Wednesday 18th, January, 2006
As Alex mentioned on the updated Morphix home page.
"Brendan has recently been experimenting with daily videos of the
daily builds, which allow a quick review of the state of a build.
Check the autobuilds page for details!"

I have a box set up to do auto-testing as a cron job. In a nutshell :-
# 1 - rsync the bases and main modules
# 2 - rm the old videos
# 3 - for each main, for each base combination
# Make an iso of the base, main and the debug-mini
# 4 - Run under qemu whilst taking screen-shots
# 5 - Convert screenshots to video
# 6 - rsync video
# 7 - Relax until the next day
The Debug-mini dumps to screen /etc/sysconfig/*, /proc/modules, ps
ax, ifconfig and d mesg
Scripts for autotesting and Morphix-Mini-Debug-Auto-Testing.mod is in the cvs:-
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/morphix/mmaker/utils/auto-testing/
This is an nice example,ere is an example of autobuilt base not booting too well
The build box is at the moment my old over-heating laptop, so occasionally
is may give weird errors. I should be swapping it over to a more
stable box soon.
NHS Miracle workers who rebuilt Dannys life
Blog Entry on the Sunday 29th, January, 2006
Observer special report about Danny who stood next to one of bombers on July 7th. How he has painstakingly rebuilt his life with the help of 24 NHS staff. Not a normal Slashdot story but the best piece of journalism this year. Photo of NHS team (jpeg)
