Is it time for a build machine?
It looks like we have several options, described here: http://ci.apache.org/
Does anyone have an opinion on which one we should use?
Although getting this to work across multiple platforms will be a big
effort, we don't need to do it all at once. Getting a single
platform up and running would not be very difficult, for example
Buildbot with Linux. And we would benefit from even that. For
example, this would enable non-developers to grab builds to test. As
you've probably noticed, we've had a few people ask how they could
help with testing. But without builds the only ones who can test are
those who can build AOOo themselves.
I'm poking around at the doc here:
http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/current/full.html
I've also signed up for the builds@apache.org list.
But I could really use some help to move this forward. So, if you are
interested in helping, let me know.
Thanks!

I see I was not clear enough; apologies. I meant that we were
following certain rather good (as in producing good stuff) protocols
in the OpenOffice.org project related to, among other things,
releases. My point had nothing to do with equipment or technological
services provided by any megacorporation, let alone Oracle :-). It had
to do with process.

All services currently hosted by Oracle will be turned off at some point.
OpenOffice.org now belongs to the Apache Software Foundation. It is our
responsibility to provide what the PPMC requests of us, wherever possible,
to keep the project running. Wherever possible this will be the same
facilities we provide for all other ASF projects. However, the PPMC is free
to request other facilities if they are required.

Have you looked at what we were doing in OOo?
If still up, you can see the releases notes and also the relevant
tools.openoffice.org project pages, as well as qa.openoffice.org
Am in wrong in believing it's good not to throw out the baby with the

usually, you look at that log file and it may point to another log in
a logging folder, depending on what it was building.
Let's suppose it was building rpms in the OpenOffice target for the fr
locale, it will point to the log
instsetoo_native/unxlngx6.pro/OpenOffice/rpm/logging/fr/log_DEV300_fr.log
the structure is:
instsetoo_native/<unxlngx6.pro>/<target>/<pkg-format>/logging/<locale>/log_DEV300_<locale>.log
like:
nstsetoo_native/unxlngx6/OpenOffice/rpm/logging/en-US/log_DEV300_en-US.log
nstsetoo_native/unxlngx6/OpenOffice_SDK/deb/logging/en-US/log_DEV300_en-US.log
instsetoo_native/unxlngx6/OpenOffice_languagepack/installed/logging/en-US/log_DEV300_en-US.log

the build is started with --html, this means the more verbose output is
redirected to a folder <module>/<unxlngx6.pro>/misc/logs/<target>.txt
In order to get the exact error, you should access
instsetoo_native/unxlngx6.pro/misc/logs/util.txt
otherwise it is quite impossible to guess what's happening.

Quick update on the Apache OpenOffice nightly build.
We now have our own nightly build (yay) and you can see the results at
[1] with the latest build at [2].
Unfortunately, as you can see at that link, after a string in successful
builds, the build has now been broken for several days.
The log is available at [3] and the final message in the log file is:
1 module(s):
instsetoo_native
need(s) to be rebuilt
Reason(s):
ERROR: error 65280 occurred while making /home/buildslave19/slave19/openofficeorg-nightly/build/main/instsetoo_native/util
When you have fixed the errors in that module you can resume the build by running:
build --from instsetoo_native
program finished with exit code 1
elapsedTime=3337.166106
Any help debugging this would be appreciated. I am assuming this is
related to the make scripts, etc. as process for the build predated the
dmake changes.
Current plans are:
* begin working on Win and Mac build (infra is laready playing with
win build)
* add RAT code check
* store full log set
* store install bits (hopefully just keep latest copy)
* add testing (suggestions??)
* add code analysis (suggestions??)
For now, though, I'm just hoping to get the build working again...

This sounds like a good plan.
I saw your script in the JIRA issue. Would it be worth doing an svn
update rather than a fresh checkout each time? (A full checkout can
take 40 minutes). Or does that break a rule about storing state on
buildbot slaves?

As much as I liked the old build bots and used them a lot, the whole setup and their overall usage was far from what Hudson/Jenkins can deliver.
So I maintain my point that there is nothing we can use and starting with a new setup and new hardware is better.
YMMV

There have been both tinderbox as well as buildbot available and in
use in the OOo project.
Tinderbox did keep track of commits, did flag build-results as "dirty"
when there were commits after the last build started, and thus allowed
rebuilding when a cws was touched, and (some) buildbots were
autotriggered by watching the commit-mailinglist, so they as well did
built whenever the code was changed.
That the build-results have often been ignored by the corresponding
developers is a different story. But stating that there was no such
thing is, well, typical.

No, unfortunately OOo never embraced continuous integration and all the
other wonderful things you can build around it. Our builds where done in
a mixture of a strange home-made build server and manual actions, and
code was not allowed to get in before it passed an approval chain
(before you ask: no, it wasn't based on code reviews). I hope nobody
will ever try to reuse that.

Mathias

Just wondering,
Perhaps the older OOo at SUN/Oracle also had some
setup for hudson/jenkins that we could reuse?
cheers,
Pedro.

I've already gotten started on this and opened a Jira issue for creating
a Linux nightly on buildbot.
I have checked in a preliminary linux build script and I was working on
the patch to the buildbot cfg for AOO.
I was going to initially run the build, RAT, and some code analysis.
Later I was going to attempt to run QA tests also.
There has been discussion of working on the Mac build, and other options
are a Windows nightly (obviously) and perhaps a Solaris build.
