Hi, I'm having some difficulty getting the 'regular' builds on 'build@a.o' working. For those not subscribed to the builds list, the situation is as follows:
- there are supposedly 9 admins for the windows1 slave, but only one is sporadically active. I've requested access to the machine, but got the answer: "nine is enough." A suggestions there was actually only one, with 8 ghosts fell on deaf ears. Apparently, it makes no sense to remove old, inactive admins and add new, active ones - since the windows1 slave is old, full and overworked, it regularly went down for days on end. We are one of the few projects that uses the windows slaves, so I ended up being the guy who always complains the slave is down... - the one active admin is now working on a second slave (windows2). In itself, that is a very good thing. However, in his own words, "he feels entitled to use our builds to experiment." I feel that is wrong, but I know better than to further aggravate my relation with him by objecting too strongly. The point of this elaborate introduction is this: somewhere in his experiments he broke the Windows slaves for our builds. We have not had a successful build in a week. Normally, not that big a deal, but with the third party IDE people working on FlexJS and the very active mobile development both relying on nightly builds, I feel this is not a time to NOT have clean, daily builds of all our projects... Anything 'negative' I say on the builds list will certainly make things worse - my NL temperament and lack of finesse often does not sit well with US recipients ;-) - so I would ask you to please chime in on the builds list and that we together get our builds back to functioning.
