OpenAFS: Running robotest on master

1. Build openafs 1.6.18

Make sure you have no uncommitted changes in your openafs git work directory (or git clone to a separate directory) then,

git checkout openafs-stable-1_6_18 && git clean -q -f -d -x && ./regen.sh && ./configure --enable-debug --enable-transarc-paths && make -j6 aklog

sudo cp ./src/aklog/aklog /usr/local/bin/aklog-1.6.18

2. Tell afs-robotest to always use aklog-1.6.18

afs-robotest config set variables aklog /usr/local/bin/aklog-1.6.18

This sets the "aklog" option in the "variables" section of the config file.

3. Revert or checkout the version of openafs you want to test with gerrit

For example, https://gerrit.openafs.org/#/c/12297/3 Under Download,

git fetch https://gerrit.openafs.org/openafs refs/changes/97/12297/3 && git checkout FETCH_HEAD

4. Configure machine and robotest

Edit /etc/hosts

add your non-loopback ip address (ip addr or ifconfig):

127.0.0.1	localhost
172.16.82.152   debianvm.local  debianvm

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

The last sudo password you ever type on this box

be really secure, add NOPASSWD: to the account running the afs-robotest

$ sudo visudo
... add this for sudo group:
%sudo   ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL 

... or one for your account specifically
username   ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
