Using LAVA for Debian

How to use LAVA to provide test support on real hardware which can be remote or local to the user.

• lava.debian.net
• publish local tests from your desk to support testing packages like u-boot.
• install lava-dispatcher on a machine on your LAN and publish local tests for everyone to view and analyse
• run CI on the Linux kernel packages on hardware - ramdisk, NFS and SATA media
• test DI on real hardware (typically ARM).
• publish local tests of VM images, including live images, and potentially run tests on VM images where appropriate hardware is available.
• run server-client tests on relevant hardware which cannot be easily performed in sbuild or single VM instances.
• support for VLAN testing is available although unlikely to be via lava.debian.net itself.
• support for Debian SSO for account creation.
• XMLRPC and REST API interfaces.
