Heppy to hear :) for those who missed -

each one has its own needs and goals I guess, but if you say it might
help, I'll never say no for sharing :P
I have 3 dells under my desk, I compile the engine a lot and its heavy
for my laptop. So I clone my local working directory and build it on the
strongest mini-dell using local jenkins server
(http://www.ovirt.org/Local_Jenkins_For_The_People). The other 2 I use
as hypervisor when needed. provision them is done by me manually :/..
cobbler pxe boot could help with already defined image.. Other then
that, I have nfs mount for storage and few vms for compilation and small
tests
Haven't used "Jenkins for the people" for quite some time, it's
awesome though. Yaniv, does your Jenkins build all your local
branches? I don't have much to share, my environment is even
simpler. I am sure it's a common knowledge but still a reminder
(even if a new developer can benefit from it, it will be good) - you
can create a database schema per each branch you work on, and if
needed to switch between branches, you don't have to destroy your
current database. Quite helpful, I must say , for someone who works
100% on engine related stuff.
Thanks for sharing... How do you manage your multiple db schemas?
Just with the engine-backup and engine-restore commands?
