[xwiki-devs] XWiki needs your help for its continuous build
Hi everyone, Some of you may have seen that we're now using TeamCity (http:// www.jetbrains.com/teamcity/) for XWiki's continuous build: http://teamcity.xwiki.org The nice thing is that TC allows to distribute the build work to build agents. XPertNet is currently providing one agent on the teamcity.xwiki.org machine. However we've found that the builds are stacking up and are a bit too long to run. Since TC supports parallel builds on different agents we'd like to call the community for help. If you have a machine that has some spare cycles for running XWiki builds then we could hook it up to the teamcity.xwiki.org server to distribute the build load. We don't need that many agents. Probably 1 or 2 (in addition to the one we have) would be enough for starters. Thanks! -Vincent, on behalf of the xwiki dev team _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
Does it matter if the 'agent' is offline sometimes? What would be a good uptime / day for one such 'agent'? I'll put my desktop to work on it, but only as long as I don't need quiet in my room (it sounds like an airplane engine) - so that means it won't be working night shifts. Have a nice day!

The uptime doesn't matter. It could even be 1 hour per day. TeamCity knows which agents are up and sends build requests to those only. Of course if the agents are up only a small portion of the day then we need more agents overall but any help is welcome. This is the first time we're doing this so there'll be learning along the way... Is anyone else willing to share some CPU cycles? Right now my goal is to see if there's interest. If so, then Raffaello (XWiki's admin) and I will define the setup. Thanks Radu! -Vincent

Hi Vincent, I think this should also be mentioned here: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Contributing as one of the easiest ways of contributing to XWiki. Also, I'm forwarding your email to the XWiki Users mailing list, since they can help on this too :) Regards, Catalin On 9/3/07, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> wrote:

Hi Vincent, I too can share my PC for several hours a day. If it counts, I'll be glad to contribute. - Asiri On 9/3/07, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> wrote:

Sounds great. Looks like we'll soon have the "XWiki Build Grid"! :) Raffaello is preparing the details for connecting up. Thanks -Vincent
