Hi Wendy, Hi Wendy It's just an addition field to the model used in continuum when adding/registering it to the continuum master. A suggestion to how would it be implemented is to request it from the user when adding a build agent is perform and yes, it means the operating system. The advantage of having this would be having the ability to select the build agents to used based on platforms they are running on.

I don't see anything about platform in the build agent configuration: http://continuum.apache.org/docs/1.4.0/installation/build-agent.html (but maybe it's changed on trunk since the release.) Is this a new concept? (How does an agent know its platform, and what do you mean by that? Operating system?) -- Wendy
