Hi all! Our current buildbot [1] setup is virtually unmaintained (I can count 2 working slaves) despite the pleas [2] to fix [3] the situation [4]. Since this is the case for over 6 months now, I have decided to set up a new buildmaster [5] and started working on getting up some maintained buildslaves. So far I have 32 and 64 bit Debian stable, running the distribution's GHC 6.8.2. I will likely be able to also add GHC 6.10.4, again on 32 and 64 bit Debian.
The other critical bit for a useful buildbot is windows slave(s). Now if someone steps up, that would be very welcome (but I don't quite expect that to happen... surprise me!) -- we need at least one hardware-based win32 setup. Probably in a month or two months time, I will be able to attempt getting this running on a Windows Vista box in our laboratory. I will also try to add a virtualbox-based Windows XP install. This should cover our windows bases, more or less. Obviously, there are is a number of slaves on the existing buildbot for various platforms. However, an unmaintained slave will do more harm than no slave. I'd like to ask existing owners to reconsider this. If you are willing to keep the slave operational, please let me know. Otherwise, the slaves will be decommissioned when we switch to the new buildmaster. As things are, and assuming that most of the slaves go, we will lose support for solaris, openbsd and OSX. If you care about any of these platforms, please consider either maintaining your slave (if you already have one) or donating a new one. Yours, Petr.
