No!

I'm planning on using monotone on Windows/MinGW as a replacement for
CVS, for real work.

I'd also like to port monotone to Lynx. I got it to compile, but the
tests totally fail. It seems to be a compiler/OS bug; I'm waiting for
the next Lynx major release to try again (Lynx is way behind the rest
of the world in C++; it's great for real-time and Ada though, which is
why I use it).

I can run a build slave on a Windows box. Since others are also doing
that, I'll wait until the wiki is updated.

On the other hand, is there such a thing as too many slaves?

On a slightly related topic, is there any way to pay for support for
monotone?

I'm aware of your plea for sponsorship, and I'll do that at some
point, but an actual support contract would be better.

Re: [Monotone-devel] Windows build slaves desired

I'd be happy to setup a windows slave when I return to work.  It'll be
at least a week before that happens.  I don't use monotone on Windows,
but have access to the resources to run a slave on a spare
workstation.

Thanks

Hello,

Since I announced the buildbot on monotone.ca, there's been a few
volunteers on the Unixly side of the industry that jumped in.
However, not a word from any other major platform, such as Windows.

Shall we simply not care any more at all, making monotone a Unix-
only piece of software?  Personally, I'd find it quite sad if it went
that way, there's been quite a bit of work done to make monotone work
on Windows as well, and I'd hate to see that work just rot away.

I do recall that there was at least one Windows build slave with the
buildbot on venge.net.  Who administrateed it?  Are you still around?
Are you willing to have monotone.ca as build master?

Remember, a build slave helps a lot in making a release that works on
your platform!

Have I done enough guilt tripping?  ;-)

Anyway, I hope to see one or two Windows slaves, and if there are
other major platforms (oh, how I would love to see VMS on the list,
but alas, I know there's a lot of work to get monotone there), please
step up!

Cheers,
Richard
