Re: [tools-dev] requirements for a Windows build bot and cws box
Martin Hollmichel wrote: Hi, finally I come to the following proposal: 1 virtual machine running a Windows7 64bit instance with Visual Studio Standard installed for the Windows tinderbox. 2 additional virtual windows machines available for Developers, with the Express Version installed. In case we discover that we need more parallel sessions available, we consider the installation of Windows Server. the Virtual Boxes will be hosted on a Quad Core, 12 GB RAM machine in a data center any comments ?

Martin Martin Hollmichel wrote: All, I got a request to do some funding for a Windows build bot (to be funded be the OOo project, not by Sun as my mail adress suggest). build bots are now integrated in the EIS and are of invaluable help for development and QA. I can think of several scenarios: minimal buildbot: a virtual windows (home) instance on some already existent hardware plus a MS Compiler professional license (estimated cost: ca. 1000 € once). fast build bot: windows box on bare iron or virtualized in a hosting center with good bandwidth for providing install sets (my estimated extra costs: ca. 1200 € per year extra) fast developer machine: windows server allowing up to five 5 users, allowing remove building and debugging for developers with no windows access, several build bot instances (i have no real idea for the estimated hosting and license costs). Two questions: * what are our real demands and requirement for such a thing. * is there anyone volunteering for collecting real prices and costs for the various scenarios and maintaining the resulting setup ?

Re: [tools-dev] requirements for a Windows build bot and cws box
Hi, 900 € per year sounds reasonable compared to the price for - buying an equivalent machine - rooming - power - bandwith - hardware repairs / upgrades now I understand. The price of 69EUR is not for a hosting only, but for hosting and rent of the hardware. Hmm, then big +1 for the proposal. In our country we strongly separate hosting of own server in the computing center and renting already hosted server owned by the hosting company (either physical or virtual). -- Pavel Janík - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tools.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tools.openoffice.org

I;d go with terminal services directly from the beginning. -1 for the regular yearly payment for the hosting services. Can we do it better/cheeper? Can anyone offer/sponsor this service for us? please keep in mind that this yearly payment includes 100MBit and unlimitted traffic, that also will allow the download of builded cws, I think it's worth the price, but I'm open for better or cheaper offers, how long we want to wait for those offers ? +1 for the full package; if someone finds a cheaper offer that's of course fine by me. Win32 builds are a pain point for me, and historically the dev budget has not been fully spent, so no point in haggling too much here. What about reviewing the hosting options again next year?

Otherwise it would have stated the HW costs, and not only the licensing costs. Martin might correct me in case my interpretation was wrong. Malte. . Hmm, then big +1 for the proposal.
