Hi all, Following on from the PPC/AIX talk at JavaOne (which I found very interesting - thanks), I thought I'd point out that we have a buildbot setup here: http://builder.classpath.org/icedtea/buildbot/ which includes the status and build logs for our builds. This gets triggered to do a new build when a commit is made to IcedTea. I've CCed Mark Wielaard who did a great job of setting all this up and knows a lot more about it than I do. Maybe we can look at linking your builds into this as build slaves at some point. Thanks, -- Andrew :) Free Java Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.

Hi Andrew, thank you for pointing us to 'BuildBot'. I didn't knew this continuous integration system but from what I've just read, it sounds very interesting. On their home page they state that BuildBot slaves can run behind firewalls which would be great for us because we're indeed behind a firewall. So how does this actually work: does the build slave poll the Buildmaster trough a standard protocol like HTTP/HTTPS? I think HTTP/HTTPS is the only protocol which passes our firewall and all the connections have to initiated from within the firewall. And more specifically, will the BuildBot slave be notified by the Buildmaster whenever a certain repository changes and then the slave rebuilds the repository and uploads the build results to the Buildmaster? Or will the slave poll the source repositories directly? Regards, Volker On Wed, Oct 10, 2012 at 5:20 PM, Andrew Hughes <gnu.andrew@redhat.com> wrote:

I'll give Mark a prod to reply in detail, as he knows more about these are setup than I do. I'm just the poor soul who gets e-mailed all the time when the build breaks...
