I recently modified the buildbot instructions for Linux-32 which worked one time and now also seems to be non-functioning. I haven't had time to check on this yet. As far as the windows buildbot. Some suggestions/approaches. * take a look at the output from the last build: https://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/buildlogs/win/log/wntmsci12.pro.build.html I submitted a Jira issue on this a while back. I don't know if the issue lies in our build scripts for Windows or something else. ref: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-10481 * take a look at the buildbot setup for Windows (committers only): https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/infrastructure/buildbot/aegis/buildmaster/master1/projects/openofficeorg.conf Does the configuration for Windows need to be changed in some way? We can fix buildbot configurations but not resource problems with the buildbots. > > >> -----Original Message----- From: Pedro Lino >> [mailto:pedl...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, December 4, 2015 >> 03:58 To: q...@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Daily/Nightly >> builds for Windows? >> >> Hi all >> >> Now that 4.1.2 is out and development is again active, I >> believe it would be good to have the Apache OpenOffice >> buildbots releasing daily binaries for Windows as well? >> >> This has been broken long before the 4.1.2 RC stage but maybe >> now someone could give some love to the buildbot? >> >> With nearly 1 million downloads per day for the Windows >> platform alone, I believe that it would make sense to make sure >> that AOO is improved and that any regressions are detected >> early. >> >> Best regards, Pedro > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > -- -------------------------------------------- MzK "Somebody's gotta win, somebody's gotta lose.
