Well, I have a few old PCs, some space, and a decent DSL connection. I will find out if that is enough. > Do the build hosts run on VM's, or do we set up actual individual physical > machines for each host type? Both is possible. I started with Parallels on an old Laptop, running 3 VWs, but that did not work as I was running out of RAM in no time (thanks to Windows 7 and OSX). I two four really old Siemens machines with 64 bit AMD's, and they'll get Ubuntu and XP. The Mac laptop will do the OS X builds, and that is pretty much it. > On the ubuntu front, though I've always been a big fan, I'm starting to swing > back to Fedora or Debian more these days - ubuntu's use of Unity & the way > they leave all sorts of "standard" stuff out of the base install irritates > me... Yes, I was pretty shocked how dumbed-down the interface is. It feels like a painted OS X on Valium. I always liked Ubuntu for its seamless upgrades, but I may have made a bad choice here. Then again, after finding the Terminal (took me 15 minutes at least), I was back in Unix world and set up the web server in no time. I am very excited about Jenkins so far. The initial setup was so easy that I am still not sure if I did anything at all. But Jenkins has already done a few builds of FLTK 1.3 for Ubuntu, and I can click and see all the statistics, warnings, errors, just as I planned. Now I have to set up dyn-dns and the web page, and we should be good to add more platforms as we go. Links will follow. - Matthias _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
