Well, for Felix we may have fun getting Windows build running. But after that not much to do: software doesn't "break" you know, it doesn't wear out :) I guess the charge is related to licence fees, which do not apply to Linux. I don't know anything about CloudBees or AppHarbour. Most of the short review of continuous integration stuff I made suggested the amount of work involved getting them configured was quite significant. Given there's less than one developer the advantages of continuous integration are quite small. I can easily set up Chron job or whatever on the Linux slice to build and package for linux automatically. The error reporting is more of a bitch, but that problem is inherent in the build technology and can't be solved just by using an integration server. Throw in a few actual users or devs or a real job and things might change. -- john skaller skal...@users.sourceforge.net http://felix-lang.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
