Ok, I just built the package myself from source and removed the
dependency on dpkg 1.15 and set it to 1.14 for lenny instead. That
means 0.7.12 is now installed on debian-stable-i386.
very nice! Now we have a console view too (
http://128.238.56.50:8010/console), but i don't see if tells anything about what's happening on the different buildslaves. Maybe later we could artificially try to break things on one platform and not on the others, and see how the web views help finding the broken one. Reorganizing the builders would certainly make things less clear, so i consider it a last resort.
Also, about the slave names, would it be possible to use the same names
that are on the PdLab page? I.e. not CamelCase, but with-dashes
instead :)
Sure, i will. Soon :)
Now i'm at CVS polling... it goes with a script snippet, which i'm not sure about if it does what we want... could you take a look at
http://128.238.56.50:8010/waterfall sometimes and see if the changes trigger the right builder? The snippet is like this:
def my_file_splitter(path): # file splitter for BRANCHNAME/PROJECT/FILEPATH repos
pieces = path.split('/')
if pieces[0] == 'trunk':
branch = None
pieces.pop(0) # remove 'trunk'
elif pieces[0] == 'branches':
pieces.pop(0) # remove 'branches'
# grab branch name
branch = 'branches/' + pieces.pop(0)
else:
return None # something weird
projectname = pieces.pop(0)
# if projectname != 'pure-data':
# return None # wrong project
return (branch, '/'.join(pieces))
