[zeromq-dev] zeromq-buildbot

[Chris Laws]

Hi,

Pieter, I have no problem moving the zeromq-buildbot over to the zeromq
organization - though I have no idea how I would go about doing that. Any
pointers? I know the pyczmq project recently did that so I'll search back
through the archives to see if anything relevant was mentioned. It looks
like I need to rename my project - which I guess moves it. Does that sound
right?

It would be nice to get the whole zeromq language binding stack into an
automated regression testing setup such as this buildbot approach.
Prospective users could quickly ascertain whether a particular language
binding is actively maintained and up to date. Builders could be created
for different versions, etc. Lots of options are possible.

Matt Connolly asked what operating systems buildbot supports. Buildbot is
Python code so I expect it to work wherever Python works. I would highlight
the Chromium project's use of buildbot to perform their multi-platform
build and testing. I think that Mozilla also used buildbot foe their build
and testing too. Both of these projects test on many different platforms.
Hopefully that gives you some confidence that it might be a suitable tool
for you.

The reason I chose to use buildbot was because it does not constrain you to
a particular workflow. It is simple and versatile.

Regards,
Chris
