virtual host is an often used name for a vm, just as it can mean vhost. Fact is we have a home page (have not controlled if its a vhost or just a httpd redirect, since it does not matter), sorry for choosing confusing words. > > > - the lab registry is merely a directory in svn > > > > What's wrong with that? > All the directories should contain doap.rdf files which are machine > readable. > Nothing, I just want to use it more actively. The "browse labs" page is not in sync with the doap.rtf files, and why maintain the same information in 2 places.

Take a look at the machines.a.o then you see a lot (infrastructure/trunk/circonus/vms.py is more complete). We have 65 vms, 27 zones and 43 hosts. Of course not all are allocated to one project. I think "a lot of" is a fair statement. but this is not about "who has", its about what we LABS offer committers. Alone for building it would be interesting, and e.g. testing web based labs. rgds jan I > > > I volunteer to maintain the vm (together with all the others I maintain > as > > part of infra) and also to help labs in need of installing sw. > > > > Rgds > > > > jan I. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: labs-unsubscr...@labs.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: labs-h...@labs.apache.org > >
