Automated pybombs testing

This allows you to quickly get pybombs to build GNU Radio on a set of freshly provisioned VMs.

Usage

Requirements

Host

• ansible in a somewhat recent version (I tested with 1.9.something)
• if you haven't done git clone --recursive, this is probably a good time to git submodule init

Targets

• ~root/.ssh/authorized_keys containing your public key (i.e. you need to be able to log in as root without being prompted a password)
• Python 2 >= 2.7

Setting up

Hosts

Edit the default.inventory file to contain your hosts of choice. I used aliases to make my logs easier to read.

Run

$ ansible -i default.inventory gnuradio-vms -m ping

to verify all machines are reachable and willing to cooperate (read this in a Dalek voice for maximum satisfaction).

Configuring the playbook

Next, modify pybombs.yml; you should replace the staging_repo and staging_branch variables at the top with what you want to try; if you just want stay with the mainline gr-recipes, just use

      vars:
              staging_repo: origin
              staging_branch: master
              pybombs_pip: pybombs

Running

 $ ansible-playbook  -i default.inventory pybombs.yml
