How to get SVN Snapshots for developers?

["Kevin A. McGrail" <KM...@PCCC.com>]

As noted at https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6689, 
the SVN snapshots were deprecated by Infra.

As noted by joes4, "if your dev community still needs such a service 
then I suggest you setup buildbot or jenkins to provide it".

My skill with hudson/jenkins/buildbot is fairly minimal but we have a 
need for SVN snapshots to have an "official" build for package 
maintainers to test SA for release.

Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

KAM

There are Jenkins Admins here who can help if you go that way.

However I can set you up a buildbot job to do what you need and I think it
does make
Sense, lots of projects utilise buildbot just to provide snapshots. (I'll
also throw in a RAT
Report step too)

Snapshots would be available at a url of
ci.apache.org/projects/spamassassin/snapshots/
Or similar.

Anyway, let me know what you decide.

It's not so difficult to add a build step to a buildbot configuration that
runs first "make tarball" on your project and then uploads the result to a
server.
(buildbot is distributed so the builds are run on slave servers, not on the
central server)

However, spamassasin doesn't have a buildbot config and I don't think it
makes sense to create one just for this purpose, as I suppose you'll want
the revision of the snapshot to match the revision being build.

So you'll have to find a similar config for Jenkins which, although I guess
won't be very difficult, I'm sorry to say I can't help you with.

Assistance would be greatly appreciated.
