| 2 | This file documents things which need testing when updating the Linux host
|
|---|
| 3 | installers or anything which might indirectly affect them. This should be
|
|---|
| 4 | updated as we discover new things which could break.
|
|---|
| 5 |
|
|---|
| 6 | General:
|
|---|
| 7 |
|
|---|
| 8 | * Test building, installing and running the run, RPM and Debian packages.
|
|---|
| 9 | * Test removing the packages - any errors? Any files left behind? Can the
|
|---|
| 10 | package be re-installed and run after removal?
|
|---|
| 11 | * Test upgrading them from any version we are likely to want to upgrade from.
|
|---|
| 12 | Make sure we can start.
|
|---|
| 13 | * Make sure that RPM/deb packages will not install if the run package is
|
|---|
| 14 | installed and vice-versa.
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | USB:
|
|---|
| 17 |
|
|---|
| 18 | * Make sure that /dev/vboxusb and /etc/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules exist
|
|---|
| 19 | after installation with service start and do not exist after removal. They
|
|---|
| 20 | should disappear when the vboxdrv service is stopped and re-appear when it
|
|---|
| 21 | is re-started. This should also work when distribution packages are switched
|
|---|
| 22 | for run and vice-versa.
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 | Services:
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | * Make sure that the services start correctly on different types of system.
|
|---|
| 27 | Known supported cases:
|
|---|
| 28 | * old Redhat (e.g. RHEL 5 and earlier): sysvinit and chkconfig
|
|---|
| 29 | * old SUSE (12.0 and earlier): sysvinit and insserv
|
|---|
| 30 | * Gentoo: open-rc
|
|---|
| 31 | * very old Debian (5 and earlier): sysvinit, update-rc.d, non-dependency-based
|
|---|
| 32 | * old Debian (6 and 7): sysvinit, update-rc.d, dependency-based
|
|---|
| 33 | * Ubuntu (9.10 to 14.10): upstart
|
|---|
| 34 | * Ubuntu 14.10: systemd installed, upstart used
|
|---|
| 35 | * Recent non-Gentoo distributions: systemd
