My conclusion was that we should be able to generate a release tarball (and even SRPM or RPM) with a shell script, rather than trying to do it in autotools with a make target. The reasoning was speed and efficiency: there's no point to running "./configure" to generate an SRPM when the RPM itself runs "./configure" during its build. I don't know how well this maps to CMake, and whether CMake gives you some sort of "skip everything and immediately do "... clearly I need to learn more about CMake :) > - Replacing the integration autotools has with any automated build/test > systems such as the gitbuilder We hope to eventually replace gitbuilder with something more scalable like Jenkins, but in the meantime we're maintaining both systems :( gitbuilder is https://github.com/ceph/autobuild-ceph Jenkins is https://github.com/ceph/ceph-build And then Loic also runs a make check bot in his own Jenkins instance.
