This has been on my mind for the last couple of days, and an note from Stepan reminded me to get this convo started. I'd like to start doing daily snapshots of Harmony from whatever platforms we happen to be building on. These would be created every day. They wouldn't require community review - we'd just get them up there, broken or not, and fix what needs to be fixed for the next day.
I'm not sure about daily. I think we should work out mechanism and start publishing them regularly (for example, weekly or in 2 weeks) first. Then we can reduce snapshot period if there such need. Also I don't see any value in a broken snapshot. I'd like to get volunteers for this, and we can work out the
mechanics. I'm not sure how much duplication we want for given operating systems. I volunteer to do linux x86/x86_64 based on ubuntu, and maybe we should also get a second set on RH or something. Someone needs to also volunteer for windows.
I can do snapshots for SLES x86/x86_64 and Windows x86. Thanks, Stepan. Secondly, we should think about doing periodic "developer builds",
where we decide on a specific SVN revision, and do the builds, review, and vote for release. These would be something we consider stable. geir
