Automated/Daily build systems supporting git?

Automated/Daily build systems supporting git?

[Alex Bennee]

Hi,

I'm currently doing some investigation into automated/daily build
systems to track the health of a source tree. There seem to be a number
about but as I'm also looking to move the CVS tree over to git I was
wondering if the denziens of the list knew of any they could recommend?

Ideally it would be an open source system. For bonus points something
that could auto bisect and point at culprit commits would be great :-)

If there are any systems that don't yet support git but people feel are
clean systems capable of having support added I would also be all ears.

Have you looked at contrib/continuous?

Perhaps Hudson[1] can be made to support Git, as it supports Mercurial
(via Mercurial plugin).

I did a simple git plugin for hudson back when I was still learning
about git (it's in the CVS tree) - I've got some changes that need to
be committed to it, but it's working OK for us..

Thanks for the pointer, it's a nice example of using the git hooks.

However perhaps it's a little too simple for our needs. We have multiple
build targets/hosts and configurations building out of the one
repository. We currently have a homemade script that runs nightlies and
emails the results, however to expand the build test we probably want
something that give a simple web-page overview of the current status.

We have a jhbuild tinderbox setup for the X modules on freedesktop.org,
which builds out of git:

  http://tinderbox.freedesktop.org/

Which Chris Ball set up.  I don't know the details of the setup, except
that it probably involves a cronscript, the jhbuild tinderbox command
(http://www.gnome.org/~jamesh/jhbuild.html#command-reference-tinderbox)
and uses the jhbuild moduleset we maintain over here:

  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/util/modular

Look for the xorg.modules file.

cheers,
Kristian

Alex,

Savadur (at its early stage) supports Git and Subversion. This 
continuous builder is fully configurable in XML. Sources can be grabbed 
here: http://repo.or.cz/w/savadur.git.

It supports scheduled scenario, triggered scenario (post commit hook). 
It is based on a client/server model and has a Web interface.

As one of the developer of this tool I can tell you that yes we have in 
our todo list the plan to support bisect.

As I said it is at an early stage of development and I'll be more than 
happy to answer questions.

Pascal.

I don't suppose you have a demo site showing it in action?

No sorry, I have only a server on a local network.
