While I like the PPA autobuilder, the build environment isn't like what the devs use, so the PPA breaks on a regular basis--and then it's hard to see why, because my box isn't emulating the PPA environment exactly. This is currently the case with the cmake thing. > > I can even push my built packages back up to my PPA, so the transition could be seamless to end users. > > What do you guys think?
The PPA concept is a familiar and trusted one in ubuntu circles, would not want to lose that trust factor among new users of the daily testing builds. Note I said users. These binaries are for usage first, testing is a secondary issue, which is in proportion to numbers of users actually using it. > > Adam Wolf > Wayne and Layne, LLC > > > On Sun, Mar 10, 2013 at 7:43 PM, Miguel Angel Ajo Pelayo < [email protected]> wrote: >> >> This tuesday I must decide if I keep renewing our *ltium license, or if we won't. >> >> I'm thinking about donating 1/2 - 2/3 of it's cost to buy one of those mac minis to >> provide continuous integration/building of kicad binaries for OSX on every bzr release. >> >> It would be wonderful also if we managed to do same thing for Windows users, I can >> provide a windows VM for that somewhere, or try to setup a cross compiling from linux >> once all the python+mingw+wxython mess gets working (and Dick + Brian + Wayne >> are working hard on this). >> >> >> >> >> Miguel Angel Ajo >> http://www.nbee.es >> +34911407752 >> skype: ajoajoajo >> >> On 11/03/2013, at 01:35, Miguel Angel Ajo Pelayo <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> Awesome!!, thanks for testing Martijn, :-) >>> >>> I think I used cmake from homebrew: >>> >>> MacBook-Air-de-Miguel:src ajo$ which cmake >>> /Users/ajo/.rvm/bin/cmake >>> MacBook-Air-de-Miguel:src ajo$ ls -la `which cmake` >>> lrwxr-xr-x 1 ajo staff 47 2 mar 00:24 /Users/ajo/.rvm/bin/cmake -> ../../.homebrew/Cellar/cmake/2.8.10.2/bin/cmake >>> >>> So we should document how to install brew, and cmake + wget + bzr + swig >>> >>> >>> >>> Miguel Angel Ajo >>> http://www.nbee.es >>> +34911407752 >>> skype: ajoajoajo >>> >>> On 11/03/2013, at 01:29, Martijn Kuipers <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>>> Congratulations Miguel! >>>> >>>> I just completed a build on a pristine Macbook Air. >>>> >>>> Some (minor) comments: >>>> You need "wget", "bzr" and "swig".
