Re: script for health check (or any script which involves uploading kernel to BBB)

The kernelci-build uploads the kernel (for a BBB build) to

http://localhost:8010/cip-bbb1/cip_v4.4.27/v4.4.27/arm/omap2plus_defconfig/

So that's

http://localhost:8010/$TREE_NAME/$BRANCH/$TAG/$ARCH/omap2plus_defconfig/

I think the ARCH can be embedded in the script (otherwise we'd need to
embed omap2plus_defconfig too..) so we just need a script using the
other 3 values which can then sed a base yaml file creating the
correct urls outputting it to a new file and then running lava-tool on
that will upload and test that kernel build to the BBB

TREE_NAME can be taken from the environment variable (if it's not set -
if for example the kernel wasn't build on this login) request the user
to set it before running the script

BRANCH and TAG can be retrieved via git commands much as build.py does

So my intention is to create a script in /vagrant/scripts which is run

/vagrant/scripts/create_test.sh input.yaml output.yaml which takes a
yaml file - which could be in the release or a new one created by a B@D
user and outputs a file (the second parameter) which can then be used in
a lava-tool command


Thoughts? Counter suggestions?
In phase two of the CIP testing project, we will need to sign the builds and provide them in a repo (or a place easily downloadable) so any tester can pick it up and test it, sending the report to a specific mailing list.

So the script will need to consider that repo as the external source for the build for "validation purposes".

At the same time, kernel maintainers will probably want the capability to create their own builds locally to be tested in their own machine, taking full advantage of the VM we are about to release.

Hence I believe these two scenarios will need to be considered in phase two. It would be good that somehow you prepare this future by documenting the script for this release, so it is easier to adapt it in the near future.
