Jan,

Sorry, I don't live in the EU, but I'd be happy to help you with the 
administration for those tasks that can be done remotely.

If network hosting is an issue, could TDF help out with that?

Sorry about the @39 tinderbox bad shape - the builds got broken there
during my vacation, and I still did not get to fixing that :-(

I fear the biggest problem is the people's time it takes to keep the
Windows tinderboxes running.  I have hard times finding that recently -
 so I'd be happy to send you the @39 box in case you had a place for
that & could run it.  Of course, that is if you live somewhere in the
EU - sending it overseas would be a problem on its own I fear.

Would you be able to run the box, please?

All the best,
Kendy

Note that we still have Windows Tinderbox builds.
https://ci.libreoffice.org/ lists the Windows tinderbox builds done by tb72
and tb73. We will always have some platform related problems (e.g. compiler
or some specific system conditions) that will slip through our normal
tinderbox builds.

Developers don't need tinderboxes for getting feedback about their fixes.
Everything that will usually be discovered by one of the tinderbox will
also be covered by our gerrit buildbots and the Windows tinderboxes
configured in jenkins. The tinderbox page that you use is our old CI page
with the non-TDF infra managed builds.

As can be seen by our jenkins instance this is already handled. Of course
the availability of daily windows builds is another point.

Markus

Re: New Windows Tinderbox Needed

Currently all Windows tinderboxes that generated the daily builds are down: 
@39, @42, and @62

Fortunately, I had the time this week to roll my own builds and in the process 
discovered 2 build breaking commits [1] [2], while another user found a 3rd one 
[3].  If the 3 win tinderboxes were up, the cause of these build breaking 
commits would be obvious to anyone monitoring the tinderbox status page.

Besides QA needing daily builds,  another advantage to having working 
tinderboxes is that developers don't need to rely on reports to verify that 
their fixes. For example Caolan was in the dark after his tried this 2nd 
attempt at a blind fix[4]. 

I have neither the computing resources nor time to constantly run builds to 
find breaking commits. Can TDF please put some resources towards this problem?  
As you can see from the status page [5] the Linux tinderboxes are in great 
shape, but the Windows boxes need some attention.

New Windows Tinderbox Needed

2018-07-27 Thread Luke Benes
This week, I needed a daily Windows build to verify a bugfix, but found that 
none of the win tinderboxes are operational. After reaching out to the 
owners, I learned that the only tinderbox that has been working for the past 
year, @42, “is really aging.”

Having a reliable Windows tinderbox is invaluable to QA. Over the years, I’ve 
used

https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/

builds to confirm hundreds bugs and verify fixes. And, I’m sure I’m not alone. 
Does TDF have hardware that could be repurposed for this?
