This page contains information on the various build services that are provided to all ASF projects for continuous integration, builds, testing, snapshots and deployment.
Projects therefore have a choice, you can choose to utilise any or all of the services provided should that make sense. See the More Information section for how to subscribe to one list that all these services are subscribed to.
Buildbot is a python based third party open source software chosen by the infrastructure team to provide extra build services to any Apache project that wants to utilise it.
Currently Buildbot is housed on two machines 'ceres' and 'isis' (donated by Yahoo!) with plans by infrastructure to expand to more machines over the coming year.
Apache Gump is a continuous integration tool for Apache projects. [more to follow...]
The ASF runs a Hudson continuous-integration server at http://hudson.zones.apache.org/. The Hudson setup consists of a master server running in a Solaris zone and two build slave servers, minerva and vesta, donated by Yahoo!. The Lucene project has configured their Solaris zone as another Hudson slave.
Any ASF project can run build and test tasks for their projects in Hudson. See the Hudson wiki page for more information.
There is a mailing list setup to handle everything build related for all of the build service platforms mentioned above. Those involved with projects are encouraged to sign up.
There are admins from all above services signed up to the list and where applicable to them - and in their own volunteer time, will help with your queries.
