One clarification - I don't have multiple OS's in my current scope for CI, just multiple interpreters. All my CI setup scripts are based around Ubuntu AMIs. However, we could definitely run your rake tasks in the ubuntu environment on multiple interpreters - especially if they are smart enough to run RVM automatically to install the desired interpreter. The AMIs that I am building should be useful for your effort too, since they will have RVM, Chef, and all the dependencies the rails build needs. Also, even though I'm only focusing on Ubuntu for now to keep things simple, my scripts are pure Bash with the goal of just getting to the point of having RVM and Chef installed, at which point the Chef scripts can take over. Theoretically, they should be transferrable to any platform/distro which supports Bash, RVM, and Chef by just changing the package manager calls and directory locations. > I'd love to hear any feedback from you and your ideas on the project! This all sounds like a great idea. Like I said, I'm real busy, but let me know if you can't find a sponsor. -- Chad -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
