# How to install the automated test runs of PyPy
# ==============================================
    
    # Make a directory for them (can be anywhere of course)
    mkdir /home/username/autotest

    # Put all necessary scripts in there - symlinks are better
    cd /home/username/autotest
    ln -s ~/svn/arigo/hack/misc/htmlconftest/autotest.py
    ln -s ~/svn/arigo/hack/misc/htmlconftest/toolbox.py
    ln -s ~/svn/arigo/hack/misc/htmlconftest/conftest.py
    ln -s ~/svn/arigo/hack/misc/htmlconftest/summarize.py
    ln -s ~/svn/arigo/hack/svnutil/svnwcrevert.py

    # Make a PyPy checkout in 'pypy-dist' or copy it from
    # somewhere else
    svn co http://codespeak.net/svn/pypy/dist pypy-dist

    # Symlink to the py lib to use, usually the one from the
    # PyPy checkout is fine
    ln -s pypy-dist/py

    # A workaround for sys.path manipulations by CPython:
    # we need a non-symlinked startup script
    echo "import autotest" > autotest1.py

    # The directory that will contain the output.  You should
    # make this visible from your web server at some url, so
    # depending on the setup it could also be a symlink to a
    # directory e.g. in your ~/public_html/.
    mkdir html

    # Copy and modify the configuration file:
    cp ~/svn/arigo/hack/misc/htmlconftest/autotestconfig.py
    vi autotestconfig.py


# Cron job entry
# --------------

crontab -e

# I am running the tests daily at 2pm using:
#
# 0 2 * * * (cd /home/arigo/autotest && nice /usr/bin/python -u autotest1.py) > /home/arigo/autotest/autotest.log 2>&1


# The "start now" button
# ----------------------

# If you want the "start now" button, you also need to copy
# manual_run.cgi to some place like ~/public_html/cgi-bin/
# and edit the paths at the beginning of the script.  Then
# you need a cron job entry that checks if manual_run.cgi
# was executed, e.g. every two minutes.  I am using:
    
# */2 * * * * [ -e /home/arigo/autotest/SCHEDULE ] && ((cd /home/arigo/autotest && rm SCHEDULE && nice /usr/bin/python -u autotest1.py) > /home/arigo/autotest/autotest.log 2>&1)
