Jenkins is spiffy, buildbot -- particularly with older python-2.4 -- is a bit of wrestling match. I set up both on the same machine. Jenkins/Hudson needed 500 Mb and filled /var/log within a week with useless messages. Buildbot is lighter weight and sooner or later one figures out the double half nelson hammerlock to pin buildbot in the wrestling match of CI. >> I build the latest rpm-5_4 from CVS on Lion Server using a buildbot here: >> http://harwich.jbj.org:8010/waterfall >> >> Both Lion Server (and Leopard) are there in the waterfalls. >> >> (aside) >> Both are broken atm just because I haven't bothered fixing "bleeding edge" >> functionality >> on Mac OS X quite yet. >> >> Note that "bleeding edge" is currently attempting to use an embedded >> perl interpreter to load a perl-URPM CPAN module that isn't installed. >> i.e. no one but me needs/uses this RPM functionality yet. >> >> But there are older successful logs which show the build options in >> use and the results of buildbot testing on both Lion and Leopard >> (and if you want Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion, I can likely >> attempt that too). >> >> The majority of the packages in use are bog standard installs from >> MacPorts port(1).

Only if you choose to build against external libraries. E.g. Berkeley DB can be built and distributed with RPM as well. In fact that is what I would do if the decision was mine: writing AutoFu tests for all possible versions of Berkeley DB is much harder than just bundling Berkeley DB within RPM (as was done for years). What is involved with "Universal Format" for you? 73 de Jeff > ______________________________________________________________________ > RPM Package Manager http://rpm5.org > User Communication List rpm-users@rpm5.org ______________________________________________________________________ RPM Package Manager http://rpm5.org User Communication List rpm-users@rpm5.org
