Hi list.
I have a few questions about running a build server.
Firstly i'm running win xp, so does that put me out of the picture
straight away for being able to run a build server?
Secondly, I have a very patched version of rockbox code on my computer,
obviously i no devs don't want patches included in compiled builds, but
does that mean i couldn't be a build server without deleting and
redownloading a clean version of the rb code?
or would it be possible to have 2 versions of code on the same computer
but obviously in different folders. One obviously being patched and
strictly for my own private use.
You are talking about a fork. Do you really want to do this?
SVN will allow you to do both. If you are serious, you might consider
setting up a Linux machine, alongside you Windows machine, and running
the server form that. It doesn't have to be done that way, but it may
be more practical. You don't need a state of the art machine to do this.
