Hi everyone,
I want to thank all of the people and organizations who have provided
buildbot build slaves. The list of builders at
http://buildbot.openafs.org:8010/waterfall is quite impressive.
We have some build slaves that have been down for months. I would like
fix, remove or replace these build slaves. Here is a list of the
builders and when they were last online:
slave name - last build
mac os x ppc - Feb 17
mac os x intel - Jul 1
solaris 9 - unknown (never built?)
fedora arm - Jun 2
If these build slaves are still down on Sept 29, I would like to
remove them from the build master configuration.
I find the lack of Mac OS X build slaves to be particularly troubling.
If you want to volunteer to host a build slave, please contact me.
Setting up and hosting a buildslave is not very difficult. It requires
the following resources:
Hardware requirements:
* A (virtual) machine running the desired platform and operating systems
* The development tools needed to compile OpenAFS
* A stable broadband (or better) internet connection. A slave will
work fine behind your typical consumer-grade router. No special
network configuration is needed. No ports need to be open to the
outside world. Plain old NAT works fine.
People requirements:
* set up the OS
* know how to install the developer tools
* know how to run command line tools to set up the build slave (I can
help with that)
* investigate things when the machine is down
* install new software tools as build requirements change.
Dave Botch and Steve Jenkins have contacted me about hosting buildslaves.
Dave can possibly host Mac OS X and Solaris 9
Steven can possibly host Mac OS X or some other Intel-based VM
What Mac OS X platforms and OS X versions do we want to cover? I
suggested Lion or better, but I figured I should ask what the community
supports. Maybe we Steve and Dave should host different versions for
better coverage.
We're still in discussions, and nothing is agreed yet.
Thanks,
Jason
