In this talk we will give a brief introduction the OpenOffice.org buildbot as well as discuss and demonstrate several exciting new features.  Buildbot is a system similar in purpose to tinderbox for the automatic generation of builds on multiple platforms.  However, buildbot very flexible and we have bent it into new shapes for OpenOffice.org  Our improvements scratch several old itches such as change-triggered builds, easier client-side config, and ready-for-qa triggered install-set generation.  We have also added several exciting new features such as the "try" facility, which allows a developer to build from just a patch.  Additionally, we will demonstrate the new arbitrary data regression system, which enables the regression testing and tracking of nearly any kind of data.  This system is quite powerful because it allows one to track based on groupings such as a cws vs the milestone is based off or the relative memory performance per arch relative to the milestone, etc.

Buildbot: Bigger, Better, Buildier

Session description

In this talk we will give a brief introduction the OpenOffice.org buildbot as well as discuss and demonstrate several exciting new features. Buildbot is a system similar in purpose to tinderbox for the automatic generation of builds on multiple platforms. However, buildbot very flexible and we have bent it into new shapes for OpenOffice.org. Our improvements scratch several old itches such as change-triggered builds, easier client-side config, and ready-for-qa triggered install-set generation. We have also added several exciting new features such as the "try" facility, which allows a developer to build from just a patch. Additionally, we will demonstrate the new arbitrary data regression system, which enables the regression testing and tracking of nearly any kind of data. This system is quite powerful because it allows one to track based on groupings such as a cws vs the milestone is based off or the relative memory performance per arch relative to the milestone, etc.
