Thread: New buildfarm client release
I have just released version 4.0 of the PostgreSQL Buildfarm client. There are two new features: * The SCM code is substantially rearranged into a separate OO module, with subclasses supporting CVS and Git. Newconfig options support these changes, while old style config parameters for CVS are still supported. Support forrunning the buildfarm from Git is a requirement before we can move the core community repo, and this meets thatrequirement (a little later than planned, but as promised almost exactly one year ago). * The requirement to specifya port for each branch to build with is gone. If the config parameter 'base_port' is specified the code willpick a unique port for the branch, a short number above that setting. The means that the config file does not needto be changed when a new stable postgres release is made. Again, old-style configs continue to be supported. The new client can be downloaded from: <http://pgfoundry.org/frs/?group_id=1000040> cheers andrew

But I don't want to accept reports on private branches on the buildfarm server, at least on the dashboard. It's a subject worth thinking about, though. The branches that are built are controlled by the client owners, not by me. That's the way things are in a distributed world -;) cheers andrew
