Trunk Crossplatform Buildbot

Post by Powzone »

I'm around alot in the emulation scene (or better said on the sites to get updates and stuff... :) ) and I noticed the buildbot they got at the scummVM site here:

http://buildbot.scummvm.org/ (Times out sometimes!)

It builds a trunkshot for every platform every 24 hours. They make scummVM for a really big range of plattform as it can be seen on the downloads site: http://www.scummvm.org/downloads/

My suggestion is, to make one for the trunk of WZ. This would help other people that want to help, having problems compiling the source. One headshot to google found the site, that develops the buildbot:

http://buildbot.net/trac

This would bring back the nightly builds automatically for all of the platforms at once. I don't think, that it needs to be maintained to much, as it runs fully automatic after setting it up once. :)

AND it's open source! :D

Whatcha think?

Erm. Buildbots aren't hard to make.

The main problem is: We don't have anyone with a spare server (for use as a buildbot) lying around. Giel used to have one, which is why we used to have nightlies, but then he didn't.

Also, our trunk is currently too unstable for general usage.
