System Setup
As of April 2011, the squid build farm main node runs the KVM virtualization hypervisor. Build instructions:
Hypervisor setup: make sure to use e1000 virtual NIC (openbsd >= 5.3 support virtio for HDD, NIC and mem)
- Use a default OS setup.
Apply a workaround to disable mpbios and properly support OpenBSD on KVM.
create jenkins user useradd -m jenkins; passwd jenkins
set PKG_PATH in /root/.profile (e.g. to ftp://mirror.switch.ch/pub/OpenBSD/`uname -r`/packages/`machine -a`
add packages: pkg_add jre bzr cppunit libxml ccache autoconf automake libtool m4 bash
- autoconf and automake will likely require to resolve a conflict in version numbers; choose the most appropriate one and iterate for them
you may want to also add pkg_add vim
- enable power management (for automatic system shutdown)
in /etc/rc.conf.local set apmd_flags=""
Build instructions
make sure to set up the environment variables AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.9 and AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.61

As of Aug 2015 I found out that OpenBSD 5.7 supports virtio network but has a bug in the driver while forwarding traffic as a gateway with a virtio device. Since 5.8(current) this bug was resolved(tested).
