Re: [Inkscape-devel] [lance@...2167...: [Hosting] OSL Build, Test and CI Infrastructure Survey]

      Thanks for the details concerning storage.
Anyone with Windows and OS X development experience that can help out
with some of the questions?

We had 8GB (iirc), which was not enough and hampering.
Now we have 30GB which is OK I think.
For backup, we can simply backup the Jenkins configuration and all else
can be lost without harm. The current CI system we have can be set up
very quickly with the Jenkins configuration files.

What kind of storage requirements are you talking about?
Hosting installation files 1 GB+ or just 100 MB for build process
artifacts excluding installation files? Persistant storage for months
or years?

I'm not sure if someone has answered already from Inkscape perspective
but here are some basic answers from my perspective. Please add
information if you have some especially if you work on OS X or Windows
as my experience is with development on Ubuntu. I can submit our
response later this week.
### What tools and frameworks do you currently use for testing,
continuous integration, or building your project?
Launchpad, Jenkins, GCC, Clang static analysis, Google test (lib2geom)
and CppTest(?)
### Which operating systems or environments do you need to build or test on?
Currently automatic builds are run on Ubuntu 14.04 but we need to
build on Windows and OS X as well in the future.
### What is the most time consuming or difficult part of your build
and test process?
Configuration...more specific here perhaps?
### How quickly do you need to make a release? (Some projects may need
to be able to push out a security related release quickly.)
No specific requirements on time but our aim is to automate the
process to one button click.
### Does your project need to run multiple machines at once for
testing or CI? Do you need multiple hosts for integration testing? If
so, please tell us about your needs.
The machines don't need to run at the same time for integration
testing but it would be more time efficient if they run in parallel so
feedback to developer is generated ASAP.
One for each operating system Ubuntu/Linux, Windows 7/8/10, OS X
(versions?). Perhaps other linux distributions as well?
### Do you have any unique requirements for your testing, CI, or build
infrastructure?
Inkscape is a computer software program, which is used to draw and
edit vector graphics. In addition to the normal regressions tests we
need to run rendertests which compare the image output from current
version of Inkscape to predefined end results.
Any specific software requirements for the rendertests?
No requirements other than storage space, I think.
Thanks for writing that up,
    Johan
