Dear Chris, Luc, Laurens you are right, the question is what we _could_ do ;)
Thanks for your offer, maybe we can set up such an automated build system. What in detail does the software you call Conductor? On my side, I built the package very sporadic, usually triggered by new libraries I require, new versions of single libraries or due to compiler updates. In the source package I documented the build process quite extensive, in V8a more details than in V7 (which Laurens used to build up his system afaik). I think it would be great to have an automated build process, which tries to create weekly builds. Here are some aspects I thought about: - For which VS versions do we want to provide binaries? for all available VS releases since 2005, just 2010 and above, or only the newst version, currently VS2012? - Do we want to provide only the basic framework toolsets (v80, 90, 100, 110 120) or also the XP compatible versions like v110_xp and v120_xp? - How should we handle the VS 2012 builds regarding the Compiler bug (please see below), since every source code need to be checked and eventually patched? - What kind of build env has to be used? A Win 7 machine with all required tools installed and a scripted build process? - Which libraries do we want to provide? - I recommend to identify the most ugly ones and to discuss if they are required. Example: In V7, I used iconv and gettext, but I dropped it in V8 since it is a nightmare to build and I forgot all the pitfalls in detail - learning it again would cost me a day I suppose.. In contrast, all the image format libraries aer compiling like a charm. >From Chris and my experience with the binaries, I suppost it wont be 100% >scriptable ever - I think it will always require monitoring and administration >effort to keep it running. Your thoughts? What can I contribute: - Storage up to TB size for hosting files (100 mbit uplink) - A linux VM if required - A windows VM if required. But HVM windows is a bit slow in my opinion - however, it would be a central build machine with access for all involed participants. - Mailing solution to develop and provide a email notification about new releases to listeners. - Knowledge (but time is my bottleneck since it has to be done on my spare time). Thank you!
