Project Description
Discuss maintenance issues and priorities for Slicer and Extension nightly builds as NA-MIC itself winds down.
Objective
- Determine how maintenance of the factory machines will be handled
- Do we have enough machines? (mac, windows, linux cloud servers needed?)
- How can the community help? (setting up and maintaing dashboard machines)
- Are there other technologies or systems we should leverage, e.g. travis-ci
- I've had good luck setting up a dashboard machine with for CTK
- Have not yet tried Slicer on travis
- potential issue: 90 minute limit
- may be addressed by a build-matrix (i.e. subgroups of tests)
- Travis is free for open projects
- Builds are triggered by git pushes to github (to any branch or pull request)
- Build machine is ubuntu 12.04, X server with GLX can be supported
- Mac and Windows build machines are on the horizon, but not clear when
- There is a commercial version of travis for priority access and private repositories
- Address questions discussed in this slicer-devel email thread
- Gerrit vs github
- Review Board
- Other ideas we should consider?
Approach, Plan
- Have a breakout discussion and document results here
