Hi all, In the meeting Ton proposed to do official automated builds, that are built and uploaded every day or every few hours. These should effectively be the same as release builds, and could even be used as official releases.
To start, some questions for platform maintainers: * Do you have time to set up or help someone else set up such a system for your platform? * Is now a good time to do it, with 2.57 is in 2-3 weeks, or should we do it after? * Are there any pitfalls we should be thinking of? * Do you prefer to run such a system on your own computer or on a server? We can set up a server with virtual machines, for example with virtualbox it should be possible for someone to create the machine locally, upload it, and further maintenance can then be done using a remote login. Alternatively builds could run locally on system from developers or other volunteers. The advantage of having them on a remote server is that it would be easier for multiple developers to fix builds and make releases, but for a single platform maintainer it may be more convenient to just run such a thing locally. We could also start to use a Tinderbox system. Hudson/Jenkins was brought up, Buildbot also seems nice to me. It seems to be quite a bit of work to configure and maintain such a system, so for now I'd like to focus on simply getting automated builds. Thanks, Brecht. _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
