 Given that we have a community of tinderboxes, I don't see a reason
 against standardized names. If someone doesn't want to follow the
 particular naming convention, it's fine for them to run an unlisted
 tinderbox...
 
Sure. The only problem with tb@42 is that I run builbot/tb, and have
not yet managed to free the cycles to hunt down where that install set
name comes from. Any input appreciated. ;)

  4)  Text file with details associated with each installer (since the
  executables have NO reference to the TB that produced them). Again, not
  needed if one build per OS is enough (see point 1)
 
 So shove info in regarding who built what and when?
 Bjoern -- That should be relatively easy, right?  (also: what do you
 think of the idea? :-)
 
Makes sense, again needs someone to implement it for buildbot/tb.

  Sidenote: I would say that having a 4.2 daily build is currently more
  important than a Master build (since 4.3 is only planned for code freeze in
  May...)
 
 Well, we do need master builds for general QA testing, as well as for
 the bibisect repos, so I think that Master builds are often the most
 useful to us in the long term. That being said, I would definitely
 like daily builds for our stable branches; I believe that it's doable
 for us to have both.

And easily so. That's why I opted for Norbert's buildbot/tb, you can
have it build any number of branches and configurations in a
round-robin fashion.

Cheers,

Re: [Libreoffice-qa] Tinderboxes: Holiday Wishlist

2013-12-11 Thread Pedro
Some old requests

1) Clear explanation of what are the differences between the builds from the
several TB. 
If there are none then one daily build per OS is enough

2) If no one cares to explain then please indicate which is the recommended
build to test. 
Currently my understanding is that the recommended, for the Windows OS, is
from TDF owned TB #47. Unfortunately that rule currently only  applies to
the Master branch... 

3) Consistent filenames across TB (hint to Thorsten ;) ) Not needed if one
build per OS is enough (see point 1)

4)  Text file with details associated with each installer (since the
executables have NO reference to the TB that produced them). Again, not
needed if one build per OS is enough (see point 1)

Sidenote: I would say that having a 4.2 daily build is currently more
important than a Master build (since 4.3 is only planned for code freeze in
May...)

Just my 2 outsider cents...
