Re: Welcome to the builds list!

2009-04-10 Thread Nigel Daley
Justin and I (Hudson admins) have been asking build owners to  
subscribe to infrastructure@ for this kind of info.  I guess that's no  
longer the right place? Justin, should we change that and ask folks to  
signup here?


Also, Gavin can we have ci.apache.org go to a page that points to the  
3 CI choices that Apache projects have: Buildbot, Continuum, and Hudson?


Thanks,
Nige

Hi All,

I see some are here already, good!

The main aim of this list is to be a gathering place where all Apache
projects can get together with the various admins of the various build
services that Apache runs.

If any project wants a new service running on one of the build  
servers, or

wants configuration changes or additions, this is the place to ask.

If anyone spots any problems with any of the build servers or the  
projects
running on them, the Jira Issue Tracker for Infra [1] is the main  
place to
report such problems in the first instance, but can also be reported  
and/or

discussed here.

On the flip-side - this is where us admins can also ask questions of  
the
projects themselves. One of the reasons for creating this list was  
so that I

did not have to subscribe to 50+ mailing lists in order to ask for the
occasional bit of build requirements/info when setting up new builds  
etc.


For my part, I'm here to look after the Buildbot instance  -  
ci.apache.org.
I will no doubt be asking as well as hopefully answering and  
assisting. For
the othe CI's such as Hudson, Continuum etc there are other folks  
here to

help and assist with those.

Feel free to ask any questions or make comments, enjoy.

Gav...

Yeah, infrastructure@ has been the right place to go, and is still the place
to go for most infra queries. However I felt this was specific enough that
we could take away potential user/config questions away from the infra list
and have those interested parties take the traffic. (I compared it to
repository@ which is another specific list that most of infra would not be
interested in).

I raised a discussion thread on infrastructure@ suggesting this list and got
+1s all around. I will send mails out to pmcs@ notifying them of this new
list soon.

Absolutely, ci.apache.org was created a couple of months back whilst testing
buildbot and before this amalgamation of CIs list was thought about. It
makes sense so I will do that soon, thanks for the suggestion.
