Attn Buildbot Owners: Would you like your builder to test the release branch?

Runtimes OpenMP

Hi,

I would like to improve the testing coverage in the release branch, so if you
are a buildbot owner and would like to enable your builder for the release branch,
let me know, and I can help get it enabled.

Also, if you have any ideas for some more extensive testing that might be too
slow to run on the main branch, we may be able to enable it on the release
branch either running once per commit or once per tag.

Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,

This sounds interesting! Would this also make it possible to automatically get the release binaries from the buildbots, as opposed to manually uploading to the FTP server?

Cheers,

Yes, this is something I would like to do. I think you could pretty easily run
the test-release.sh script on the bot. The only issue is finding a way to
securely upload the binaries.

Hi Tom,

We at Linaro are maintaining LLVM Arm/AArch64 buildbots and want a host buildbot for testing of release branches.

Kindly share the steps to do this. Do we have to host separate builbots for tracking release branches or is it possible to track multiple branches by existing buildbots assuming traffic on release branches is less frequent?

OK, that's great.

I've submitted a patch[1] to add the infrastructure for enabling builders
on the release branch. Once this patch or something similar gets applied
then we can start enabling individual builders. I'll follow up with you
once this patch lands.

We are interested in doing this for PPC as well. Not likely for all of our bots, but one or two select ones.

Tom, any update on this?

Yes, thanks for reminding me. The infrastructure is in place now, so
we can start adding more bots. Do you have a bot that you want to add?

I intend to set up two new release bots for LLVM AArch64 and Arm release. Do you have a reference release bot that I can replicate for my use-case?
