Hi Brett, I think having the automated builds on many platforms is definitely needed. What I was looking for is a way for a developer to jump on a platform to try and debug an issue. It sounds like the Solaris Zone might be what I'm looking for. Where do I find out more about getting access?

We can also set ourselves up on vmbuild, which is ubuntu under vmware. If we test under both of these, we've probably covered all platforms (as we have a lot of windows, linux and mac folks - maybe we just need to do a quick checklist on votes that someone has tested it on each supported platform). The are ASF wide resources, and there seems to be a desire to set up an asf wide build farm, but we need properly configured software to make it useful first. Just having the platforms available will probably find them being underutilised - we need aggregated build results from an automated system. One of the things we thought to try was to get continuum-distributed integrated and in use. If you are interested in working on this, that'd be great... - Brett On 05/07/2007, at 12:45 PM, Brian E.
