OK, so what do others think? I'm totally fine with taking my Azure VM and turning it into the 'official' Flex CI server. We can try a 'medium' instance and see if it falls behind as we add more checkintests on the FlexJS side, and if we need to upgrade to 'large' I'll pay for it myself.
It just seems like it will take less of our time than working with Apache Builds. For FlexJS we are probably going to want to install and maintain a variety of browsers. Right now we've disabled the FlexJS checkintest on Apache Builds because it didn't run and there was no simple way for me to debug it. I assume we really do want to run some sanity tests for each build, yes? -Alex On 4/17/14 12:00 PM, "Erik de Bruin" <e...@ixsoftware.nl> wrote: >Max 10 - 20 Euros. > >EdB > > > > >On Thu, Apr 17, 2014 at 8:56 PM, Alex Harui <aha...@adobe.com> wrote: > >> Erik, >> >> If you didn't switch over to medium during the month, what do you think >> you'd end up paying each month? >> >> -Alex >> >> On 4/17/14 11:49 AM, "Erik de Bruin" <e...@ixsoftware.nl> wrote: >> >> >Nothing. >> > >> >If you run a "medium" instance, it will be more than plenty powerful >>to do >> >all build tasks whenever needed.
