Hi Yuriy, Looking at the situation Matti describes where some buildslaves have not been running for months, it seems that nobody was really interested in looking at the results enough to care about sending a mail to their owners... So while we do appreciate some buildslaves, and they are not a burden to set up for us, maybe you want to consider the wider picture: would your buildslave be looked at by anyone? In more details:

This makes FreeBSD somewhat supported (possibly with some time lag), unofficially. So whether additional buildslaves provide value is up to the FreeBSD-interested people to decide. I would recommend to look at what FreeBSD buildslaves are working, and if there is a gap you're interested in filling. > 2. How often are builds run on these slaves?

A build should finish in 2-3 hours as long as there is no swapping. We can also give the slave a custom configuration, like have it run a build weekly instead of daily. (It seems a bit pointless to run daily builds if no-one looks at the result every day). > 3. Who administers them?

It's mostly up to you to make sure it runs, although usually it requires little intervention. A bientôt, Armin. _______________________________________________ pypy-dev mailing list pypy-dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
