But we aren't going to deploy the "central service" to everywhere, just to the apache infrastructure. > > When we have a dedicated host for builds maybe it'll be worth to > rewrite test infrastructure in Java.

We'll have a host to receive this info from the distributed build machines. One host will be recording the info from the all the other distributed build machines... geir > > On 8/1/06, Alexei Zakharov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Hi Anton, >> >> > I believe that most >> > common server-side engine is CGI (not PHP or J2EE) so I'd like to >> > implement this using Perl CGI scripts. >> >> (just thinking about) there are several good Java-oriented >> technologies - servlets, JSP, JSF - why not to use them?
