Description (last modified by )
Tinderbox isn't cleanly configurable in the way we want, so I've had to hack it around a lot. Buildbot looks a much better bet, as it's designed to allow modification by subclassing.

I've set up a buildbot on atreus. It's currently only testing unix - I've got a windows MSVC build half configured, but it's proving very hard to get it working.
The web interface is not currently publically visible, but the IRC bot is sitting in #xapian-devel on irc.freenode.net.

The buildbot now performs builds of tarballs (whenever new ones appear) as well as builds tracking SVN. I plan to add the following in the near future (ie, within the next few weeks), not necessarily in this order:
1) Add windows builds from tarballs. I think the easiest way to do this will be to write a script to live on the windows machine which manages the whole build - bypassing much on buildbot's machinery which seems to get in the way. 2) Implement build-over-ssh, with the client running on atreus, but transferring files to a remove machine and running the build commands using ssh. 3) Add builds with --enable-debug and --enable-log (and both).

HP have shut down their testdrive, which is sad but means that we don't need to worry about having to access boxes by ftp and telnet any longer at least!
How are we doing on the 3 points in comment:8?
1) I see "xapian tar win32" in buildbot, but it hasn't built in the recent past. Is this done?
2) "build-over-ssh" is what's needed for the remaining boxes I have access to. Did you get around to doing this?
3) This is done now.

Ticket #249 suggests adding a build with GLIBCXX_DEBUG, which seems a good idea.

(In #51) On further reflection, I feel that passing "make distcheck" on one platform is probably good enough. If people aren't comfortable with the possibility of portability issues, then I don't think they'll be comfortable with SVN snapshots anyway. Also, we have more regular release schedule now than we did when this idea first came up, and will have development releases from a 1.1 branch fairly soon.
So I'm going to just close this bug.

So the only point left here seems to be implementing some stuff to allow the buildbot slave to run on atreus and transfer files with scp and execute commands using ssh, so that we can run builds on machines where installing everything needed to run a slave isn't really an option, or where firewalling gets in the way.
I've created #582 for that issue, and am closing this ticket now.
I can't see myself finding time to work on this in the forseeable future...
