Would that do? Which build bots? Yes, I know about the build-bot project, it's a great idea, but we need actual online-always machines to use it. Short of buying a whole lab -- which I am actually thinking of doing -- how would we get people to subscribe to the build-bot service and Felix in particular? And who would manage all of that? Erick finally got a SF Compile farm script going, which was great, except SF removed the Compile farm service shortly thereafter ;( The only other reliable service is Debian autobuilder, which we do use; it only builds for Linux, but at least it covers several processors (including ia64, on which Felix doesn't build, probably because Ocaml is broken on the processor). Another way to do this would be to become MOTU on Ubuntu, and use Canonicals farms + MOTU's machines. But still no OSX build, no Windows, no Cygwin, and no Redhat Suse or Solaris .. I wonder if Google has a compile farm service ..? -- John Skaller <skaller at users dot sf dot net> Felix, successor to C++: http://felix.sf.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
