pg buildfarm status update

From

Date:
The PG buildfarm has been operational for a little while now, thanks to 
Joshua and CommandPrompt for the server space. You can see the current 
status at:
http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_status.pl

Today for the first time I got a Windows client working, and will be 
putting the code changes in CVS on pgfoundry soon. Then I will turn to 
improving the web interface, moving from the rather severely functional 
setup currently used.

cheers

Could loris also be used to do the cygwin and MSVC builds?

Cygwin is next on my list. The buildfarm client script does full server 
builds, so MSVC isn't on the radar right now. FYI the steps in the 
process are (more or less):
configuremakemake checkmake contribmake installinitdbstartdbmake installcheckmake contrib installmake contrib
installcheckstopdb

I don't intend to use the machine that is loris for long - it's too slow 
and memory bound. If anyone has a nice fast Windows machine with 1Gb+ of 
Ram that we could use for a buildfarm client (Windows Native and/or 
Cygwin) that would be awesome.

Also, if anyone managed to port ccache to Windows that would be huge 
too. Using it on Unix has proved to be a major gain.

Sorry, no.
Is there no ISP around, which wants to save some money? :)

ccache is available via cygwin at least.
