New Tinderbox Features:
|
|
- easy to install both client and server
|
|
- web administration of everything in the server
|
|
- database-backed
|
|
- kick clients during builds
|
|
- upload patches for clients to try out
|
|
- incremental logs / status
|
|
- clients can throttle (not send build_starts more than a minute)
|
|
- allows tinderboxen to build at a particular cvs co date and branch
|
|
- can configure tinderboxen .mozconfig
|
|
- security (logins / passwords)
|
|
- clients upgrade themselves if there is a new version of themselves on the server
|
|
- builds can be uploaded and linked to for testing purposes
|
|
- can clobber a tinderbox
|
|
- client setup works without anything but build tools installed (ed: need to ensure environment is set up properly)
|
|
- uses fast-update (every 6 hours it re-syncs with checkout)
|
|
- does not bother building if there were no changes (build can be forced with build command)--minimum cycle time
|
|
- uploaded binaries are intelligently deleted to keep a hard quota but still have a useful range of binaries around
|
|
- a nice log viewer that lets you look at the log page by page and see a summary of progress
|
|
|
|
Todo:
|
|
- tests
|
|
- graphs
|
|
- xml interfaces for botbot and such
|
|
- sidebar
|
|
- require build administrator email
|
|
- add hostname into the machine_name automatically
|
|
- have client report versions of files it updates so a correct "C" letter can happen
|
|
|
|
Bugs:
|
|
- add proper constraints into the DB
|
|
- make tree_id, make most tables link to it (inputs to cgi scripts still use tree name)
|
|
- round times to nearest minute, ensure nothing goes beyond bottom of shown tree
|
|
- 1-minute cycles sometimes don't show up (possibly related to above)
|
|
- .mozconfig can run arbitrary commands, maybe make it only possible to do ac_add_options from server-specified .mozconfig
|
|
- popups should show up closer to where they do in current tbox--it looks nicer
|
|
|
|
Would be nice:
|
|
- * midcheckin detection
|
|
- log brief-izing script (makes logs brief so you don't have to *remove* them)
|
|
- targeted log quota script (same as build deleting script)
|
|
- allow machine to move from tree to tree
|
|
- auto-reload feature
|
|
- "C" checkin list on a build
|
|
- allow Netscape to build as well as Mozilla, based on server you connect to (server specifies that Netscape should build, maybe cvsroot too) - close, needs testing
|
|
- Allow switching tinderboxen (a machine connects to tbox a, cycles, then moves to tbox b, etc.) (this allows you to prepare your work machine with multiple builds *and* to help the tinderbox server out--mooost excellent, dude.)
|
|
- make Kinderbox possible (build on one machine and test on another)
|
|
- upload installer builds
|
|
- page showing a list of all builds for a particular time range or even forever (possibly using ShowBuilds)
|
|
- don't upload a build unless it is binary-different from the last one you uploaded
|
|
- allow creation of a machine without a machine connecting (this allows
|
|
pre-configuration of branch and .mozconfig)
|
|
- show status as text, not number ("upgraded client" instead of 302, for example)
|
|
- allow builds to be ftp'd up
|
|
- allow tree to be rsync'd instead of cvs'd
|
|
|
|
Test:
|
|
- --notrust and friends
|
|
- changing cvs co date around (esp. having one and then not having one--do we need to unstick the tree?)
|
|
|
|
Not Now, Dammit
|
|
- allow clients to send status as multiple machines to different tinderboxen
|
|
- allow clients to send status via email
|
