Refresh eight existing upstream series and add Linux 7.3, using the kernel.org release feed and archives as of October 19, 2026. Keep older series in the matrix, including the final Linux 7.1.13 release. Update the existing Rocky 10.2, 9.8 and 8.10 kernels and the UEK entries for Oracle Linux 10, 9 and 8. Also pick up the final AlmaLinux 9.3 and 8.8 source RPM updates. Preserve distribution releases and UEK generations. Add the 7.3 regression selector. Both CI matrices resolve exact versions from nightly.conf, so no workflow version lists need updating. Keep full nightly checks on 7.3 and apply the usual -nc option to the previous head.
This directory (nightly/) contains a simple, automatic build-and-test
system for SCST, intended to be run by cron.
Note (importantly) it doesn't test the sources in the tree of which
this directory is a part (viz, nightly/..). Instead it checks out
a complete new tree, builds and tests that independently of the
existing tree.
To use, choose a tag, probably a machine name, and run
bin/nightly <tag>
and supply the following two config files:
- conf/<tag>.conf: this is sourced by the 'nightly' script, and can define
any or all of the following environment variables:
ABT_DETAILS: describes the machine in more detail, eg. the OS. The default
is empty.
ABT_EVAL: if provided, it must be the name of a shell script that executes
the shell command $1 with arguments $2 .. ${$#}. Allows to compile and
run the SCST regression tests on another system than the system the
'nightly' script runs on. It is assumed that the remote system shares the
local filesystem tree through e.g. NFS. It is the responsibility of the
shell script to set the remote working directory such that it matches the
local current directory ($PWD).
ABT_JOBS: allows parallel builds -- it's passed as the argument to "make
-j" when building SCST and the tests. The default is 1.
ABT_KERNELS: kernel version numbers to test SCST against. The maintained
project list is in conf/nightly.conf.
ABT_TMPDIR: absolute path in which temporary files will be stored.
- conf/<tag>.sendmail: this should be a script that sends an email to the
desired recipient (eg. the scst-developers list). It takes three
command line arguments. The first is the email subject line, the second
is the name of the file containing the email's body (showing the tests
that failed, and the difference between now and 24 hours ago), the third
is the name of the file containing all the diffs (which can be made into
an attachment, for example).

The automatic build-and-test infrastructure for the SCST project reuses some
ideas and shell script code from a similar infrastructure in the Valgrind project.
