to regenerate the Dockerfiles contained in the repository, but

CI for libvirt
|

This document provides some information related to the CI capabilities for the
|
|
libvirt project.

Cirrus CI integration
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
libvirt currently supports three non-Linux operating systems: Windows, FreeBSD
|
|
and macOS. Windows cross-builds can be prepared on Linux by using `MinGW`_, but
|
|
for both FreeBSD and macOS we need to use the actual operating system, and
|
|
unfortunately GitLab shared runners are currently not available for either.
|
|
|
|
To work around this limitation, we take advantage of `Cirrus CI`_'s free
|
|
offering: more specifically, we use the `cirrus-run`_ script to trigger Cirrus
|
|
CI jobs from GitLab CI jobs so that the workaround is almost entirely
|
|
transparent to users and there's no need to constantly check two separate CI
|
|
dashboards.
|
|
|
|
There is, however, some one-time setup required. If you want FreeBSD and macOS
|
|
builds to happen when you push to your GitLab repository, you need to
|
|
|
|
* set up a GitHub repository for the project, eg. ``yourusername/libvirt``.
|
|
This repository needs to exist for cirrus-run to work, but it doesn't need to
|
|
be kept up to date, so you can create it and then forget about it;
|
|
|
|
* enable the `Cirrus CI GitHub app`_ for your GitHub account;
|
|
|
|
* sign up for Cirrus CI. It's enough to log into the website using your GitHub
|
|
account;
|
|
|
|
* grab an API token from the `Cirrus CI settings`_ page;
|
|
|
|
* it may be necessary to push an empty ``.cirrus.yml`` file to your github fork
|
|
for Cirrus CI to properly recognize the project. You can check whether
|
|
Cirrus CI knows about your project by navigating to:
|
|
|
|
``https://cirrus-ci.com/yourusername/libvirt``
|
|
|
|
* in the *CI/CD / Variables* section of the settings page for your GitLab
|
|
repository, create two new variables:
|
|
|
|
* ``CIRRUS_GITHUB_REPO``, containing the name of the GitHub repository
|
|
created earlier, eg. ``yourusername/libvirt``;
|
|
|
|
* ``CIRRUS_API_TOKEN``, containing the Cirrus CI API token generated earlier.
|
|
This variable **must** be marked as *Masked*, because anyone with knowledge
|
|
of it can impersonate you as far as Cirrus CI is concerned.
|
|
|
|
Neither of these variables should be marked as *Protected*, because in
|
|
general you'll want to be able to trigger Cirrus CI builds from non-protected
|
|
branches.
|
|
|
|
Once this one-time setup is complete, you can just keep pushing to your GitLab
|
|
repository as usual and you'll automatically get the additional CI coverage.

Coverity scan integration
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
This will be used only by the main repository for master branch by running
|
|
scheduled pipeline in GitLab.
|
|
|
|
The service is proved by `Coverity Scan`_ and requires that the project is
|
|
registered there to get free coverity analysis which we already have for
|
|
`libvirt project`_.
|
|
|
|
To run the coverity job it requires two new variables:
|
|
|
|
* ``COVERITY_SCAN_PROJECT_NAME``, containing the `libvirt project`_
|
|
name.
|
|
|
|
* ``COVERITY_SCAN_TOKEN``, token visible to admins of `libvirt project`_
