I've spent some of this holiday season learning how to set up BuildBot (http://buildbot.net/) which is a Continuous Integration system that is especially aimed at open-source style projects: You set up a central "build master", and one or more "build slaves" - and it is very easy for someone to set up a new build slave, so if you have some new platform you want to test a project on you can add a build slave. The buld-master admin has to add your slave on the master side, and the slave needs to be able to access the source code repository.
I've got three of my Perl projects from my CVS repo running under buildbot now, and it's all working, except email notification of build status - no email is getting to the mail server, and I have yet to learn how to debug that. I've got about 9.5 hours into it, (out of an initial estimate of 12) include various yak-shaving activities. For now I have the build status pages for the three projects at:` http://buildbot.eigenstate.net:8010/ http://buildbot.eigenstate.net:8020/ http://buildbot.eigenstate.net:8030/ ------------------------------------------------------- Matisse Enzer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.matisse.net/ - http://www.eigenstate.net/
