[glob2-devel] hudson on reportingsjr's box

[Leo Wandersleb]

hi list,

yesterday i installed hudson on reportingsjr's server [1]. plan is to get 
hudson to:
* compile on each commit to default (done)
* report to #glob2-dev if broken (done)
* report via mail (not configured yet)
* report via jabber (not configured yet)
* run doxygen (done)
* make doxygen docs accessible (broken)
* run tests (no tests yet. tests are num1's fork. not configured neither)
* report code coverage (far from done without tests)
* generate binaries for debian (in progress)
* generate binaries for mac (not started yet)
* generate binaries for windows (not started yet)
* generate binaries for * (not started yet)
* setup for branch beta5-rc (done)
* setup for mioug's and num1's fork (not started yet, but easy)
* report comments containing todo, hack, fixme (done)

further issue is that it is not possible to change one's hudson password. (some
thread crashes)

TODO:
* automate generation of binaries (this might get complicated when it comes to
cross-compilation or setting up a windows hudson slave ...)
* fix hudson so you can change pw
* make hudson start after a reboot (now you need to start tomcat like this:
/root/tmp/apache-tomcat-6.0.20/bin/startup.sh)
* use a folder name that will not get deleted! (/root/tmp was meant to be my
download dir)
* don't run tomcat as root

Regards,

Leo Wandersleb

P.S.:
How I installed hudson:
downloaded latest tomcat (maybe too latest)
downloaded latest hudson
moved hudson.war into the extracted folder structure of tomcat (to
/root/tmp/apache-tomcat-6.0.20/webapps/ in this case)
reportingsjr opened the box for port 8080
i browsed to ip:8080/hudson and added a user (me)

scripts in root's context
