As part of getting adequate coverage for vetting, I have just asked
Nigel and Justin who watch over the Hudson instance here at Apache
to setup the Maven jobs we require for validation. They are running
on Solaris which will be a good compliment to what we have running
at Contegix.
I think Brian tried this initially and had a number of obscure
problems. Hopefully they've since sorted them out, but worth keeping
in mind if anything pops up.

Hopefully this will be setup today and then we'll have Linux and
Solaris dealth with in a reliable, automated way. I've asked
Contegix to order a Mac Mini they will modify and put in our rack,
and we will have a big machine that will run ESX coming soon as well
so we'll be able to deal with different flavors of Windows and *nix.

I have chopped the issue list down to what I know I'm going to look

If you want to add things you know you want to look at, go for it.
But I would like to use a standard build for testing. I am going to
use the version of Maven built by Hudson from the 2.1 build that's
been cycling off from here:
http://ci.sonatype.org/view/Maven%202.1x/job/Maven-2.1.x/
If we sync up on a version which we all use then we have a good
chance of getting consistent results. I'm using the build from here
to review the issues currently in the queue:
http://ci.sonatype.org/view/Maven%202.1x/job/Maven-2.1.x/ws/maven-2.1.x/maven-distribution/target/
When issues are closed, another build can be done and we can use
that one to carry on. I think this is the only sane way to work
through the issues. The Hudson instance has been up the longest, it
works more reasonably then anything else we've used, and John has
been working on creating some release automation so the releases
can be built on the same machine as well. For reliability and
consistency I think this is a reasonable approach.
A PowerEdge 2900 will land at Contegix shortly that has been
provisioned to run ESX so that we can deal with Windows, Linux,
BSD, and Solaris in an automated way. Contegix also said they could
wire up a MAC mini if we wanted to automate OS X builds as well.
The box is on Contegix's system, but any PMC member can get access
to the machine and access to the support list if you need to
contact support in the middle of the night.
Thanks,
Jason
