All,
I got a request to do some funding for a Windows build bot (to be
funded be the OOo project, not by Sun as my mail adress suggest).
build bots are now integrated in the EIS and are of invaluable help
for development and QA.
I can think of several scenarios:
[...]
fast developer machine: windows server allowing up to five 5 users,
allowing remove building and debugging for developers with no windows
access, several build bot instances (i have no real idea for the
estimated hosting and license costs).
Two questions:
* what are our real demands and requirement for such a thing.
* is there anyone volunteering for collecting real prices and costs
for the various scenarios and maintaining the resulting setup ?
IMHO, mixing buildbots and debugging on one machine is just asking for
trouble. If there is a need for both and funding is available those
should be two separate boxes (or at least two separate virtual boxes).
ok, running the developer machine in a virtual environment should not be
the problem.
I know it might be tempting for licensing reasons (*) to use just one
machine, but I really think it wouldnt work in practice.
the main objective is to be in compliance with the licenses, that's why
I am asking for reasonable configurations. Once we know about the costs
for the various configuration we can decide what will be the most
appropriate to choose.
Best Regards,
Bjoern
Martin
(*) BTW: Are there even CALs available for Visual Studio?
