With Andre's permission, I'm forwarding his mail to the list. I believe Andre refers to the Open Build Service (OBS). It's a great and powerful build and integration tool, but I'm not sure how applicable it is to Continuous Integration (CI) and Automated Testing (AT). Basically, after every commit to PySide, the whole source code is built and the tests are run to ensure that the commit doesn't cause regressions. (Renato & others, correct me if I was inaccurate/wrong). If OBS can do that, and for different platforms as well, then it might be well suited for our purposes. But can it?
Cheers, ma. Begin forwarded message: From: ext Andre Mikulec <andre_miku...@hotmail.com<mailto:andre_miku...@hotmail.com>> Subject: PySide project future: buildbots and Python Panda3D (and perhaps PySide ) Date: 24 August 2011 02:35:02 EEST To: <matti.p.ai...@nokia.com<mailto:matti.p.ai...@nokia.com>> Matti Airas, You have asked for help using the following question. " Development facilities: Most of the development facilities (repositories, Bugzilla, etc) are already in the public, but some are not (buildbots used for testing new commits, in particular). I think the buildbot has been very useful for Q&A, but how to do that in an open project? Everything else is easy and cheap to have but that requires a bunch of physical servers which someone needs to maintain. Are there any open services for such purposes? " At one time in 2009, Panda3D was built at Novell (Suse) on their buildbot system. I think (I am not sure) that the Panda3D builds may have been moved elsewhere because of a subcomponent licensing item within the Panda3D software itself (and I do not think that PySide will have that problem). But I remember when Panda3D was first starting to be built on Novell (Suse), the situation was great. Panda3D was being build for any kind of linux you wanted. Panda3D still gets built on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux (but I am not sure where). http://www.panda3d.org/download.php?sdk&version=devel Anyways, other people seem to still build there at Novell (Suse) By project http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/ By name http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:// Perhaps, Reinier de Blois ( pro-rsoft, rdb ) who is the volunteer maintainer of the python Panda3D building process can help. A way to contact him may be through launchpad. https://launchpad.net/~rdb Look at the right side of the page and click the button 'Contact this User' (But first, you may have to register and login) Another way to contact him may be throug the Panda3D mailing list. Register first http://www.panda3d.org/forums/profile.php?mode=register Login second http://www.panda3d.org/forums/login.php See his profile: rdb or pro-rsoft http://www.panda3d.org/forums/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1988 Click the Private Message Button [PM] Sometimes he may be on chat using the name rdb. http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=panda3d Hope that helps. andre_miku...@hotmail.com<mailto:andre_miku...@hotmail.com> Andre Mikulec
