[ big snip] Again, we should be doing this ...
the server is just a hosting place so I build the nightlies on my computer (not as regularly as I would like to I am afraid) and I uploaded them to the server afterwards.
We could just make a rule that if one of us saw that the deliverable offered for download was more than a few days old, and there was a 'good' build available then it should be uploaded, with a note as to who built it.
ok, why not. I'll try to keep them as recent as I can in order to take the load of your backs... but only when I'll be back of course. For the note I propose uploading a file named Inkscape_somedate_info.txt with the build Inkscape_somedate.dmg with fields:
OS X version: Fink version: Fink distribution: gcc version: configure options: stripped: YES/NO
BTW the Bug Report "[ 1447658 ] [WEB SITE] Mac OSX development binaries won't download" seems to be WORKSFORME, in that the im ages can be downloaded.
Yes this was relevant to builds hosted on the main website. can somebody with administrative rights close this one?
What do you mean by smoke testing?
Two things, either
- An series of quick tests that a dev can do to be sure that the
build is good. or 2) An assertion that the tests concerned have been done.
For a long time, my smoke test was to create a new document, make a star and a rectangle and perfom a path union on those two objects. If this worked I was happy. If it didn't I knew that something was definitely wrong. Obviously each dev will have their own choice of tests, and it is best that the test actually done is in an area where development is taking place, but it is more important that the smoke test is quick and simple so that there is no temptation to neglect it.
OK. I do test the builds in a similar way. what could be nice also is a small script which check if all locale information, tutorials and so on are present in the app bundle (there used to be problems with this).
I uploaded a last dev build today, build with OS X 10.4, gcc 4 and latest fink. I also updated substantially the wiki. Let me know by personal email if everything is fine (I turn off list delivery for the time I am away)
