We had some suggestions earlier for some alternate means of
implementing this (Hudson, Conitnuum, etc...). Now that we've
had Jason Dillon provide an overview of what we had in place
before, does anyone have thoughts on what we should go with? I'm
thinking we should stick with the AHP based solution. It will
need to be updated most likely, but it's been tried and tested
and shown to meet our needs. I'm wondering, though, why we
stopped using it before. Was there a specific issue we're going
to have to deal with again?
IIRC, the overwhelming reason we stopped using it before was
because of hosting issues -- spotty networking, hardware failures,
poor colo support, etc. We shouldn't have any of these problems,
now. If we do run into problems, they should now be fixable. I
have no reason to favor Hudson/Continuum over AHP. So, if we can
get AHP running easily, I'm all for it. There's only one potential
issue, that I'm aware of.
We previously had an Open Source License issued for our use of
Anthill. Here's some of the old discussion -- http://www.nabble.com/Geronimo-build-automation-status-(longish)-tt7649902.html#a7649902
Although the board was aware of our usage of AntHill, since we
weren't running AntHill on ASF hardware, I'm not sure the license
was fully vetted by Infra. I don't see any issues, but I'll want
to run this by Infra.
Jason D, will the existing license cover the version of AntHill
that we'll want to use? I'll run the license by Infra and will
also describe the issue for review by the Board, in our quarterly
report.
Heh. Oops. Just noticed that I sent the following to myself and not
the dev list. I hate when I do that...
One more thing... from emails on [EMAIL PROTECTED] looks
like Infra is cool with us running Anthill on selene and phoebe.
BTW, am planning on installing monitoring software over the weekend
on selene and phoebe. The board is interested in monitoring our
usage...
Also, we now have a new AntHill license for our use. I've placed the
license in ~kevan/License2.txt on phoebe and selene. This license
should only be used for Apache use. So, should not be placed in a
public location (e.g. our public svn tree).
Regarding monitoring software -- I haven't been able to get it to work
yet. vmstat/iostat don't work, unless you run on every virtual
machine. 'xm top' gathers data on all domains, however, doesn't make
the data easy to tuck away in a log file/available to snmp... Advice
welcome...
