Re: Buildbot now just running a linux client

I don't know if we have an official list of platforms we have promised to support. My guess at it would be linux in different flavours, Windows, and OSX. If applicable 32- and 64-bit versions of those above. On the other hand -- if you today are building 21.5 from sources that would be a good candidate. The reasoning would be that you need to know a little about building from sources to set it up and you would have an interest in that commits won't break "your" version. So setting up a buildbot slave for that environment would be in your own interest. First step is always to be able to download the 21.5 source using mercurial, configure, make and finally make test. When you can do that on your platform you are ready to install a buildbot slave and try to get that going. Mail me and we can sort out the details. (Newspeak for I need to try to remember the details and I rather do that off the list ;-) Yes, your buildbot slave does not need to be online always. It will be some builds missing of course but it will build the latest version when it gets online. So you don't have to have a server to contribute although some of the idea gets lost. But it is better to have some suppport than none at all.
