CouchDB keeps receiving a lot of pressure to build on aarch64, ppc64le
and s390x, which keeps pushing us back to Jenkins CI (ASF or
independent). And if we have to do that, then not much else matters to
us.
One of the nice things about using a system that supports external
runners is that it allows for contributions of CPU time from like minded
individuals. I wouldn’t trust them to do anything more than run tests
though.
Right. We have a number of external machines contributed to our buildbot
network. An openbsd box, a Mac box, etc. They run a bunch of svn tests.
We have some external machines using JNLP to hook into our Jenkins network.
If somebody can find a $platform box they need, then it can be hooked in to
our network for a single overview console of tests (assuming you're already
using some of apache's systems already).
Yup, we're good here, though a lot of those donated boxes are single
points of failure :(
I was asking if any of the service platforms provided this. So far, it
looks like no.
