Hi all,
As Bob mentioned, the visit from Slashdot cratered our nightly Win32 snapshot server, and we need some help coming up with a better solution. No Inkscape experience needed, just need to be familiar with SourceForge, scripting, and compiling apps.
The snapshots have proven useful in letting users test out and report on recently implemented features without having to compile it themselves. So this is a pretty highly valued service for the community.
What we need going forward is a script or set of scripts that:
* Checks out from CVS once a day and compiles for Win/Lin/Mac both debug and optimized. (e.g. via SF compile farm?) * If compilation is successful, post the packages to mirrors (e.g. SourceForge). * Allows users a place on the web to go to to get the latest version * Creates and provides autopackage versions (the AP folks are doing this for us currently, so this may not be necessary but is worth considering if it's not hard to do.) * Doesn't place the administrative responsibility on a single specific person * Code is checked into a subdir of inkscape_project/ * Has a README and/or wiki page explaining install & usage
If you'd like to work on this or a piece of it, let me know and we can work out the details.
