I'm assuming Brett wants it for a Continuum slave. I agree that I can foresee some potential issues with running two different slaves on the same server. However, I think that for now the benefits of having a single server to maintain overweight the potential problems. If we run into real problems (my biggest worries are around resource competition) it would be easy enough to separate the slaves at that time. /niklas

The original intent for the Windows VM that Brett requested was for continuum + anyone that wanted to share it. I'm not sure that he meant share it with another CI tool (but I could be mistaken.) I would have thought Hudson would be better on its own. I was going to suggest to Nigel that if he wants to run Hudson on Windows then I can provide the license for it and he have it installed on a Yahoo machine, that would be much easier for Nigel I would have thought. This puts extra time and pressure on Nigel though and I don't think he has time to maintain yet another machine. (But let me know please Nigel if you think that is something that can be arranged for the future) However ... > > I'm assuming Brett wants it for a Continuum slave.

VMs are cheap, I would rather Hudson be on another VM away from Continuum - albeit on the same host for now. Niklas, you have volunteered to set up and maintain the Windows Hudson VM, I would rather like to see another one or two offer to help maintain it also, there is nothing worse for infra than a badly maintained and out of date system and poorly managed VM. Not a reflection on you as I'm sure you will do a wonderful job, but I don't want to put extra pressure on infra to help keep this VM operational due to lack of enough oversight of the VM. You must realise that the Windows VMs we are about to unleash at ASF will be Very popular over the coming weeks and months. So if more volunteers show up to help Niklas, I'll create the VM and get Windows on it ready to rock and roll. This will mean projects will have 3 choices for Windows CI builds, Continuum, Hudson and Buildbot. Let me know if any of that doesn't make sense. Gav... > > /niklas

I share your opinion on having multiple admins for this host (especially given the preference for a separate box). So, let's see if there are additional volunteers. /niklas
