Great. You said “when I get the RBE running”… Did you run into an issue under the latest version of openSUSE that I need to address? Once the RBE is installed (and working), generating a OS build should be easy. Simple running “make” then wait. Of course, there is also a “make clean” to purge all the cached data and prep for a fresh build. Very easy to tell the RBE to build ether a “interm test” or “release” build. It’s just a configuration option. It even uses custom “user configuration” files. That way, updates to the RBE itself don’t overwrite build customization. It’s been a while since I modified any configuration stuff for the RBE. So, I’ll need to check and let you know the file name. Personally, I just use two different VMs. One for Interim and one Release Builds. Then I don’t need to mess with changing the configuration at all. You’ll just need to set it for Interm Builds. That way it pulls from the unstable repository branches. Side notes… If you set it to “verbose”, it will display a lot of additional information on what is happening during the build process. Also, many parts of the build are multi-threaded. So, it is possible adding cores to the VM “could” result in faster builds. Someday, I should cross compile a version of SLICER to run under Linux. That would boost creating the Floppy Edition a great deal. :-) Jerome > > > _______________________________________________ > Freedos-devel mailing list > Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
