VyOS Continous Integration

vyos-ci

This repository should serve as a Demo on how to build the VyOS Linux Kernel with out-of-tree modules as a Jenkins Pipeline job.

First it will fetch the Pipeline configuration from Git and later on will grab all required source repositories, kernel, wireguard and accel-ppp.

Once Kernel has been compiled, a subsequent parallel run is started to compile all out-of-tree modules specified in the parallel stage against the latest Kernel configuration. This is required as - depending on the Kernel configuration - the internal ABI might change resulting in symbol lookup errors. This happened during release of VyOS 1.2.0-rc9 and should not re-occur.

Kernel Modules

The Wireguard module for instance ships the module installation path in a version controlled file vyos-wireguard/debian/wireguard-modules.install which needs a new revision on every Kernel version change. Thus, the pipeline will now alter the file content on-demand depending on the generated Kernel version.

Same is valid for accel-ppp package, but the file controlling the installation path is called vyos-accel-ppp/debian/vyos-accel-ppp-ipoe-kmod.install and debian/rules here. Both files are automatically altered to match the current Kernel version in use.
