ok - i'm going through the scripts in scripts/ from cvs, as i never
really used them before. any tips, tricks, undocumented folklore i
should know about?
I am cc'ing the list since I think this is of general interest.
I have talked with Nando about it, his reason for not doing it is
lack of time. There are no license issues with Pd-extended that
would be a problem with RedHat or PlanetCCRMA. The whole Pd-extended
is licensed under the GNU GPL. In fact, we are limited to only BSD
and GPL code in Pd-extended, while with PlanetCCRMA, they can ignore
a lot of license issues because they have Stanford's lawyers behind
them. They include software with all sorts of non-free licenses, and
even include patented code that would be illegal to use in the US
without a specific license.
The plan with the pdlab farm of computers is to have the nightly
builds posted automatically so they can be downloaded. Ideally, the
packages would ultimately be included in the respective OSes.
As for how to support RedHat/PlanetCCRMA, I'll leave that totally up
to you, I don't use either, so I don't know what makes sense for
them. But feel free to ask any questions, etc. about Pd-extended.
Also, there is a lot that can be improved in the Pd-extended build
system, so if you feel motivated to improve things, go for it. The
hard part is that it has to work on all platforms.

cool - there will most likely be other dependencies for pd-extened
on a
stock fedora/redhat/planetccrm install (non-standard builds, that
have
never made it to rpm, license issues, etc - there's must be some
logical
reason Fernando doesn't already make one), so i think it's still not
going to be drop in for ccrma users. i'll start with their spec
file
and go from there. perhaps you can host non-standard rpms w/ it
after
they get built?

That would be awesome! It would be great if someone updated the
PlanetCCRMA rpms to be built with Pd-extended. Right now the
PlanetCCRMA stuff is quite old.
Once everything is set up, I don't think it'll take much
maintenance. So I'll just do a plain install of RedHat and/or
PlanetCCRMA and hand it over to you. I don't really know RedHat
anymore.

hi - i've scripted systems to auto build from cvs to rpm - and can
offer
a couple of hours a week or so if you are interested.

So I have a bunch of old PCs, a fat internet connection, and some
room to set up some boxes. My plan is to set up machines that
are
devoted to auto-building Pd, one machine for each platform.
This is
what I can provide: Mac OS X 10.3.9, Debian/x86, Debian/PowerPC,
and
Win2k.
I have more PCs and I could do installed of PlanetCCRMA, RedHat,
SUSE, whatever if someone would build that machine up to auto-
build Pd.
The idea here is to have each of these machines do a complete
build
of Pd every night, and report problems to the pd-dev list. Then
we'll no longer need to make test releases, they'll be there
automatically.
Any help with this would be appreciated. I can give root
access to
those who will do the work.
