Project Description

multipath-tools is in urgent need of better CI, both unit tests and "real world" tests. We a very basic set of unit tests, but the coverage is miserable. Also, there's some minimal github workflow code, which could be improved a lot while I'm learning about github workflows.

Goal for this Hackweek

Improve github workflows: add workflows for non-intel architectures for compilation and at least part of the unit tests. Add some more unit tests.

It took a while to figure out ways how to run multiarch build and unit tests on Github. I eventually got all the puzzle pieces together. The results can be seen in the actions page of the openSUSE multipath-tools repository, where I can now run automated build and (admittedly quite sparse) unit test CI for multipath-tools on 7 different distros and 5 architectures (I could do more, but it would be overkill). The effort relies heavily on the build-multipath project, where I'd collected container specifications for building multipath for some time. Who knows, maybe this will turn into a more generic build recipe in the future.
