I assume you are talking of Sling 7 ?

So I think let's look at the snapshot dependencies in launchpad, see if these artifacts have some urgent open issues, fix them (if there are any) and then release the stuff. Sounds good to me. I though we were still far from releasing, so Sling 7 makes me happier than Sling 6.1 . For the build server problems, I'm totally unhappy with the Jenkins installation (and this since years) - apart from spamming the mailing list, the value right now seems really very low. Though I have no idea how to change this... Perhaps we can use Travis for that. I know that Oak does that [1] and I've set up a proof-of-concept some time ago at [2] but didn't update it in quite some time. The advantage of Travis is that it always starts with a fresh VM for each build, so there's no problematic master-slave communication, which is the #1 problem with our current Jenkins setup. On the other hand, it doesn't do all the graphs that Jenkins does and does not publish binary artifacts. To set up a Travis build we need a .travis.yml file in the root of the repository, see [3] for what I used. I can take care of setting up the .travis.yml file to make sure that Sling builds on Travis. Then we need to find out how to authorize Travis to build apache/sling ; OAK did it so it's possible.

Yepp, let's give it a try - we don't need to publish the artifacts, just getting a success/fail mail is enough Carsten 2013/8/7 Bertrand Delacretaz bdelacre...@apache.org On Wed, Aug 7, 2013 at 10:35 AM, Robert Munteanu rob...@lmn.ro wrote: ...I can take care of setting up the .travis.yml file to make sure that Sling builds on Travis.

After the INFRA issue is resolved I'll look into tweaking the build.
