Hi, for a while I did graphicall autobuilds (linux 32/64bit and win32/mingw), until my internet was reduced to sub-dial-up speeds from too many build uploads :(. Some notes... * svn corruptions were an occasional problem for me, maybe once or twice a week I'd get one one of my working copies corrupt, this is unlikely but the more configurations/branches etc the greater the chance of a problem with one of them - this was also my experience with the durian renderfarm which used svn on all nodes. Of course to start with we can not bother with this, but it would be useful to have an svn wrapper script which ensures an up to date svn no matter what. * Heres the python building script I used http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Ideasman42/PyBuildBot\ perhaps helpful if anyone wants to automate build + uploads. * Important to note when autobuilds were last update, their revision / date on the download page. * debian, rpm & pacman package building worked last I checked. for mac I don't think anyone tested this properly. -- - Campbell _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
