lab hardware move/reorg + moving forward

[Dave Taht]

I have a need to re-organize and rewire the lab and return at least one box
to it's original usage.

The x86 gear:

are io.lab.bufferbloat.net (the aftr box)
and ida (one of my laptops) (the sdnat box)

I can live without io for a while, or the laptop, but not both. (they are
the only gigE capability I presently have)

I'm curious enough about aftr to configure a cerowrt box as an aftr box as
well, so I can leave up two wndrs for that purpose,
or leave a wndr box off of io for now and re-re-re-purpose that laptop.

So A) are both/either these boxes still needed during the rest of ietf? (so
I can at least rewire)
and B)...

My plan would be to rebuild the aftr/sdnat lab out of the demo gear
returning, which I assume will be monday(ish)?

Also discussed with francisco today is a build environment that people
other than I can use. I will conduct a training session at some point, to
make it easier to just play with stuff on their own gear... and

Using huchra.bufferbloat.net is certainly ok by me for builds, I will
gladly grant more accounts on it, but as it has many accounts on it from
non-isc people, can't be moved within isc's security zones.

My own security system is basically limited to ssh and my repos are
outsourced to github (also controlled via ssh). Github works well
(miniupnpd uses this model too), but I am not the one to convince y'all to
adopt github en-mass or as enthusiastically as I have! Still... it would
help to integrate certain of your processes with them, IMHO.

So a build system needent be a dedicated box, it just requires a reasonably
modern Linux operating system, about 2GB of disk for the sources,
and about 40MB per preserved build. It takes about 3 1/2 hours for a full
build on the 8 core system that is huchra, under 8 minutes for incremental
builds.

An open problem is making the sdnat related package repositories available
outside isc's security zones. I presently have the one copy (not publicly)
accesssible living on huchra. I hate having only one copy of anything,
anywhere...
