Development can happen on the devbox, a development version of the browserbox with git, gcc etc. For testing during development, a special command on the box can pull in the CGIs that were compiled on the devbox.
See http://genomewiki.ucsc.edu/genecats/index.php/Gbib_development
 
You can start and stop browserbox-dev with the aliases devStart and devStop. Browserbox-dev listens at 1236 for web requests and at 1237 for ssh.
 
All virtual machines live in qateam/VirtualBox VMs/. The central virtualbox xml config file where they are registered is ~/.config/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml
 
start browserbox-dev:
  devStart
 
connect + git pull + compile:
  ssh devbox
  compileCgis
 
You can now test the CGIs on port 1236 of hgwdev. You can also hack on the /home/browser/kent directory and e.g. run makes in there.
 
To do a more realistic test, the alpha binaries can also be put into the final browserbox.
 
To copy the alpha binaries into the browserbox: Copy them from devbox to alpha distribution rsync server directory (this command is defined in qateam's .bashrc) by running this command as qateam:
  boxUpdateAlpha
 
Now start the box and pull the alpha binaries from the rsync server:
  boxStart
  ssh box
  updateBrowser alpha
 
You can now use the alpha CGIs on port 1234 of hgwdev.
 
When you're done: stop the development box:
  devStop
