Hi all, As some of you may know, I've been building a Buildbot (http://buildbot.net/trac) instance for us. In a nutshell, Buildbot provides several services:
- continous integration: inform devs about build failures with arbitrary number of build OSes / configurations - automated packaging: create source tarballs and packages (e.g. Debian, Redhat) from each build, every night etc. - publishing the latest tarballs and packages with help from external apps (apache, yum/apt/ports) I got the basic build process (autoreconf -vi && ./configure && make) working in BuildBot already. Now I'd need help with packaging OpenVPN for various OSes. If you package OpenVPN I'd appreciate a lot if could contact me. My plan is this: - write packaging instructions to our Trac wiki (https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki) - convert the instructions into BuildBot code (BuildSteps) After this is done, we can provide the latest version of OpenVPN for various platforms with minimal manual effort. This helps developers as well as users: having the development code in wider circulation helps spot problems faster resulting in faster release cycle.
