can you give a bit more details about what you are planning to do? My naive picture is that one would normally simply add a new machines to the existing built bot, but some of your questions, e.g. about the network infrastructure, seem to suggest something more complex. With some more knowledge, perhaps we could contribute even more to this project :-).
We are working on a build cluster inspired by the internal one Sun RE is running. The idea is to create a place where community developers can build OpenOffice quickly on more platforms than one. Cluster in this context means a serverfarm that provides 50-100 build nodes and the software to distribute a single build over so many machines. We are looking into instantiating the build nodes as virtual machines, to make the cluster support dynamic reconfiguration. So nothing complex, just basic plumbing. We are currently in the prototype phase with a tiny 7 machine cluster: http://picasaweb.google.com/martin.kretzschmar/MiniBuildCluster Kai -- Kai Backman, Software Engineer, [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
