| make.bash creates a Google Compute Engine VM image to run the Go | |
| Plan 9 builder, booting up to run the buildlet. | |
| make.bash should be run on a Linux box with qemu. | |
| After it completes, it creates a file plan9-386-gce.tar.gz | |
| The make.bash script depends on the following packages: | |
| $ sudo apt-get install bzip2 curl expect qemu | |
| or | |
| $ sudo yum install bzip2 curl expect qemu | |
| It has been tested with QEMU 1.4.2 to 2.2.0, as provided with: | |
| - Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) and above | |
| - Debian 8.0 (Jessie) and above | |
| - Fedora 19 and above | |
| Also, due to an ATA bug affecting QEMU 1.6 and 1.7, the | |
| Plan 9 CD can't be booted with these versions. | |
| To create the image: | |
| $ ./make.bash | |
| Then: | |
| $ gcloud storage cp -a public-read plan9-386-gce.tar.gz gs://go-builder-data/plan9-386-gce.tar.gz | |
| Then: | |
| $ gcloud compute --project symbolic-datum-552 images create plan9-386-v6 --source-uri gs://go-builder-data/plan9-386-gce.tar.gz | |
| To test the image before deploying it to prod, use x/build/cmd/debugnewvm. | |
| Then update x/build/dashboard/builders.go with the new image version | |
| (e.g. "plan9-386-v5" to "plan9-386-v6"). |
