Automatically building and testing commits before they are merged to master is a really neat thing to do. But I chose buildbot over Hudson because * buildbot is more readily available than Hudson, for example, Fedora 13 does not have Hudson packages * buildbot is built on Python, which is less controversial in terms of software freedom than Java (Personally I'm fine with both, but it can still matter to some) * I already knew Hudson and wanted to learn buildbot * I feared that people would look at Gerrit+Hudson as an obstacle, since commits needs to be submitted, it's not enough to just push And now that I've experimented with buildbot a bit, I have ended up liking the system, so I don't plan to switch over to Hudson / Martin -- My GIMP Blog: http://www.chromecode.com/ Automatic tab style and removed tab title bar ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
[Gimp-developer] Nightly builds with buildbot, where can we host?
Hi, I have been experimenting with setting up nightly builds of babl, GEGL and GIMP using buildbot. Actually, it's morning builds, since the morning is the least common time on the day we push commits. I am now in a state where this works pretty well: * Each morning buildbot pulls the latest changes from git, does a make distcheck, and copies to the resulting tarball to a central directory along with the md5 sum The benefits should be obvious but I'm listing a few of them anyway for clarity: * We can do development releases whenever we want, there will always be a tarball ready to be released. In the past, getting ready for a development release has taken weeks some times. * Since our automatic tests are continuously run, regressions will be quickly discovered when tests exists, making it easier to act upon them. * People will be able to easily test bleeding edge code without having to wait for a release, assuming we publish the tarball directory somewhere I don't have a fixed IP address however which makes it hard for me to host a machine for this. So the question is: what alternatives do we have? Maybe this would be a good thing to spend our money on? I guess the easiest thing would be to rent a (possibly virtual) machine reachable from the internet. We can then add links to that machine on gimp.org to the tarball dir it produces. Any thoughts?

In the past, getting ready for a development release has taken weeks some times. That's over-exaggerating things a little. It has sometimes taken hours to fix 'make distcheck'. By running this more regularly this can of course be much improved. Will buildbot build failures be posted to this list? Do you have the 'blame' feature setup so that the commits that potentially broke the build are listed? I don't have a fixed IP address however which makes it hard for me to host a machine for this.

Well, we could ask if it is possible to have this run on cube. But I guess that it really makes sense to have a dedicated (virtual) machine for this.

I think posting failures to the list would create too much spam, my plan was to have an IRC bot for that instead. I don't have the blame feature set up yet, but is is usually not hard to figure out what commit that caused make distcheck to fail. Eventually I want to run make distcheck for each commit pushed, but we can live without that for now. I don't have a fixed IP address however which makes it hard for me to host a machine for this.

I think so too, seems unnecessary to introduce security issues like this on cube. So, how do we go about getting ourselves a virtual machine? I rent one myself and then show receipts? / Martin -- My GIMP Blog: http://www.chromecode.com/ Automatic tab style and removed tab title bar ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
