[Q-e-developers] QE buildbot (experimental)

[Filippo Spiga]

Dear all,

FYI the QE instance of buildbot is going to provide discontinuous services from now to mid January while I continue to experiment with it. It is definitely my best choice as lightweight CI system so far and I am adopting it to various projects here in Cambridge. I will showcase a final VM-based solution during the QE Developer meeting.

Compared to other software, it is much easy to deploy and maintain. I started investigating a continuous integration service for QE because I need a automatic way to build QE-GPU plug-in against several version of QE without doing it manually every time! it has also been a good excuse to learn and experimenting something new ;-)

Built are triggered regularly every 6 or 12 hours, no matter what happen to the source code. Next step will be trigger a new build only when a change in the source code is committed. There are lot of opportunities to explore (e.g. generate automatic night builds and packages, switching across branches, bla bla bla).
