Paul and I worked on this two months ago but it never got merged: https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/pull/9
I'd like to get automated CI builds working for the project. It seems that Travis CI (https://travis-ci.org) is quite popular and integrates well with Github. I would certainly be open to alternatives though. I set Travis up on my own project fork just to understand how it might work. If you follow the link, you will see that I added a badge to the top of the main project README.md. This badge displays the current CI build status. It is updated each time a CI build completes. https://github.com/nickwallen/incubator-metron/tree/travis-ci Travis will also auto-magically run a CI build for any PR that is opened. I think this is an outstanding feature so we have some additional validation before we merge anything into master. Follow the link below to see an example PR. https://github.com/nickwallen/incubator-metron/pull/4 I had to create a .travis.yml file in the project root. This tells the CI build to run the Apache Rat license check, runs the integration tests, and also packages the project. https://github.com/nickwallen/incubator-metron/blob/travis-ci/.travis.yml The only trouble I had was that Travis limits the output of CI builds to 4 mb. Beyond that it fails the build. That is why you will see a bit of grep filtering in the Travis yml. Are you in favor of an automated CI build? Is Travis CI the best solution? All feedback welcome. Thanks Nick
