Hi all, Our builds are taking longer and longer, which has prompted me to look into dividing unrelated build tasks onto separate machines. I have played with this a little, and have some of it working.
The primary build machine uses the FTP task to transfer the metadata for the current build (e.g. build number, changelist# to sync, Ant commands to invoke). I then use the Telnet task to kick off the build script on the remote machine, which includes touching a file, as a signal that its part has completed. Where I am stuck is how to get the primary build machine to check (wait, and check again) for this semaphore file, if it finishes its own tasks, first. This is my first attempt at a cooperative implementation like this, so I am totally open to suggestions. Thanks, Ed Mack WRQ, Inc.
