Chris, I read and understood your previous emails on this subject. It all sounds awesome, and I'm sure the infra folks you talked to at the time meant what they said. But in my experience, what infra says and what they actually do (within a reasonable timeframe) are two entirely different things.
I've spend way too much time this past year trying to work with them to keep the one VM up and running for more than a week. They just can't manage even that. In addition, they have (up till a week ago) denied all offers to help them. So, I'm done with them. If someone else has the cycles to keep fighting the windmills, they are welcome to it. I'm going to help set up our own, external VM. After that, I'm going back to actually writing code for the project. There are compilers out there that need some love ;-) Thanks, EdB On Monday, April 21, 2014, Christofer Dutz <christofer.d...@c-ware.de> wrote: > Hi, > > on the ApacheCon we were told that it is possible for any Apache Project > to get a dedicated VM ... perhaps this would be something we should use? > And it would be definitely possible to setup a build agent on that VM and > have Infra set that up in the public Jenkins (That agent would be flagged > with "ApacheFlex" or something like that and our builds would be flagged > with "needs ApacheFlex".
