Builds
We are running periodic builds of Sugar using the buildbot automation system. Full builds, which starts every time from a clean source and installation tree, are run every 12 hours. Quick builds, which are built incrementally from the last build source and installation tree, are run every 2 hours. The status of the builds is available through a web interface and failures are notified to the development mailing list.
Status
- Waterfall Display
- It gives you a time-oriented summary of recent buildbot activity, by showing a time-based chart of events. It provides detailed information about all steps of all recent builds, and provides hyperlinks to look at individual build logs. By simply reloading this page on a regular basis, you will see a complete description of everything the buildbot is currently working on.
- Recent Builds
- It shows the last 20 builds performed by the buildbot, one line each. Each line is a link to detailed information about that build.
- Latest Build
- It shows the status of the latest build for each builder and allows to force or interrupt builds.
Master
The latest build master configuration is hosted in a sugar-buildbot git repository. The service is currently hosted on sugarlabs2.xen.prgmr.com and is administered by Marco Pesenti Gritti.
Slaves
See Infrastructure Team/Resources#Build_Bots.
Contribute
You can contribute to the build and testing infrastructure by offering to host a slave on Linux distributions which are currently not covered. It's relatively easy to set one up.
- Setup a dedicated user account for the slave, usually named buildbot.
- Make a sugar-jhbuild on it, check that the build succeeds.
- Install buildbot, preferably version 0.7.7.
- Setup the slave. Name it by the distribution it's running on, including the architecture (ex. fedora9-x86_64).
buildbot create-slave slave sugarlabs2.xen.prgmr.com:9989 SLAVENAME PASSWORD cd slave mv Makefile.sample Makefile
- Run the slave:
make start
- Get in contact with master administrator to setup the builders.
