Took Michael's rootfs that is used for all the toolchain testing and benchmarking, unpacked it, and repacked it so that it is compatible with "linaro-media-create", then tested that I could use it to run tests on LAVA successfully. I was hoping to use this for extra benchmarking bandwidth, but there's a permissions problem in the LAVA website software that means it's not yet possible to post private results to the system, so no proprietary benchmarks yet. I can still continue pipe-cleaning my process, and maybe run some benchmarks without actually reporting the results (or perhaps posting them somewhere write-only).
We can rsync them to the validation machine as a step and only post a summary, such as the number of regressions or improvements, to LAVA.
Yeah, I've investigated pushing the private results to people.linaro.org, but to do so would require exposing an encryption key, and p.l.o does not permit use of .ssh/authorized_keys so I can't create a restricted one for the purpose. I could upload them to my home server, but that doesn't help anyone else. I could set something up to receive write-only file drops on p.l.o with a non-standard port number (if there's no firewall), but it might be harder to encrypt it, though that might not matter.
There's a machine on the same network with a role based account. We can push to there and use a password-less key with host authenticatation and anything else that we can come up with to make up for the lack of password :)
Or perhaps a write-only rsyncd would be better?
