continuous integration

[erikzenker]

To protect the application of compile and runtime error a continuous integration platform should be used:

• https://travis-ci.org/ <== we have some experience with this one
• http://jenkins-ci.org/ <== has several operating systems to test on
• http://hudson-ci.org/ <== is predecessor of jenkins

• Jenkins/Hudson seem like they need to be self-hosted -> not worth the trouble?
• Travis is great, but the repository needs to be public if we want the OpenSource payment plan (which we want). Therefore, we will have to wait for a while (I can add a preliminary .travis.yml file, if you want)

Update on the matter: I started working on a .travis.yml file for TravisCI, but they are still stuck at Ubuntu 12.04, which ships CUDA 4.0 (not sufficient for our needs)

I just found https://snap-ci.com/ and will give it a look

I am trying to deploy drone.io on a local machine. It is a docker based CI platform and can be selfhosted.

[slizzered]

nice, thanks.

snap-ci.com ist not the right tool for us (only offers a free trial)

In case the local machine is not sufficient, I can use some of my github-student pack to purchase a server at digitalocean.com. There we could put either drone.io or jenkins in place. My trial there can last up to 20 months, which would be long enough to wait for travis-ci.org to get their stuff sorted out.

drone.io is deployed on a local machine and capable of building HASEonGPU. Now we need to setup a server with the prepared archlinux docker image and its done.

you can just add the hook since you have admin access to this repo (hooks added by now).
