Hi, I've put in place a script that monitor svn log on trunk and launches a bootstrap + check on each commit (distributed on the 7 CFARM ubuntu machines). On average since Nov2005 there have been 20 commits per day on trunk so, a cycle taking about 8 hours I expect to use about 50% of CFARM ressources for this task. I'm currently limiting to one build per machine to leave a processor for other users of CFARM.
I still validate manually the output before sending to gcc-testresults but that will change soon (when I'm confident that it survives a few problems), see current results with subject "[r1100xx]": http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2006-01/ I'm currently using the following configure flags: --disable-nls --disable-multilib --enable-languages=c,ada So build & check takes between 4h30 and 6h00 depending on the processor frequency. Adding other languages will push that figure to 6 to 8 hours (last time I checked). CFARM is a bit behind on commits since I launched my script starting with r110006, it has currently done up to r110047 and has 25 revisions to go (as of r110115). Is sending each rev testresults to gcc-testresults ok? I have a serie of build which failed (gcov build ICE), r110009 to r110025, what to do with those, email to testresults with end of build log? Next tasks will be: - Activate more languages. What languages, what configure flags are useful? - Activate build & check on branches. - Filter out rev we known aren't changing anything (eg: gccadmin daily bump). - Automating cross build & check: Mike Stein has simulators running on C for a combined tree, with RTEMS folks we nearly have Ada ACATS running on a few simulators. - Priority management for all the above workload. - Document what I've done so far: 170 lines python + 70 lines bourne shell, nothing big :) - What to keep from builds? install direcotry for quick hunting, for all rev or only some? Right now nothing is deleted (even build dir) but it won't last more than a few days. - And of course: offer rev+user patch testing. Comments, suggestion and help welcomed.
