Hi! Since my last update on Buildd.Net [0] features here [1] many new features were added to Buildd.Net. I'll try to some them up:
* a new design - the layout and structure of Buildd.Net changed. * devel systems - to support developers in their porting work, Buildd.Net donates accounts on some machines, e.g. m68k, mips or sparc. [2] * sarge-backports - after Norbert Tretkowski announced working on backports for Sarge, Buildd.Net is able to display information about sarge-backports again.[3] * version check - you can now check, what versions are installed for each arch. This is a feature of the ptracker script [4]. See [5] for details. * various package state checks - for example you can now check if a package is overdue after building [6] or which package is dep-waiting on what other package for how long [7]. There are some other checks as well on each arch page. You can reach them by clicking on the "check" link beside the corresponding graphs for Building, Uploaded, etc. You can find some description for those at [8], [9], [10] and [11] * Needs-Build queue ETA - this is a small feature that displays an estimation how long the needs-build queue would need to get compiled. This is based on the average build times gathered by the participating buildds. More details on [12] * kfreebsd-amd64 added - as already announced in DWN[13] and by Aurelien Jarno [14], Buildd.Net supports the new port by inclusiding it on its site [15] * mailing list - for discussing Buildd.Net related stuff, feature requests, etc. there is now a mailing list: bn-misc <at> lists.buildd.net - you can subscribe by sending a mail to bn-misc-request <at> lists.buildd.net with the subject "subscribe" And some special news as well: * Buildd.Net becomes OpenSource - as announced in [16] I began to make the sources for Buildd.Net publically available on [17]. Currently every time I'm changing or adding a new script to Buildd.Net I'll make it available on the above mentioned page. So, one script after the other will be become GPLed. * Access to Buildd.Nets Database - related to that, you can now request direct access to the database behind Buildd.Net [18]. Of course this is not an "open" database where you can just connect and play with. But if you want to use that database to write your own build graphs or such, you can request access to the database. Requirement for this is, of course, a database user/password and a static IP from which you will connect. Please use the above mentioned mailing list to direct your requests and propose your ideas. Enjoy!
