Travics CI #33

Open Norman0406 opened 9 years ago

Norman0406 commented 9 years ago

Please provide additional information about TRAVIS CI and how it can be used in this project.

Some questions:

How do we manage the Travis build process? Is it connected to an individual GitHub profile or can we create a Travis account for LISA, that both of us can access?
Is it possible to perform additional build events like running python scripts etc., e.g. to create installer packages? How can we configure this?
When running a build, can Travis automatically increase the build number?

Travis CI cannot be used for building on windows. A CI solution that can be used for all builds would be preferable. Investigate alternatives like

CircleCI
Jenkins

We could setup a build server on our own (maybe using a RaspberryPi 2?).

semaph0r commented 9 years ago

Nope, raspberry pi does not have enough power. I will provide an Jenkins installation on my root server soon

The new RaspberryPi version with a quadcore processor is quite fast compared to previous versions, and parallel builds would be supported. It would be a cheap alternative and it doesn't matter if nightly builds take 2 hours to complete. I'm still looking for a good application for this thing ;)

Norman0406 commented 9 years ago

I guess multi-platform builds must each be done on the platform that it will build for, right? So we need Jenkins to run on a a VM for every supported platform.

semaph0r commented 9 years ago

Shit, I hope you are wrong. Don't know how to deal with multiple plattforms

Norman0406 commented 9 years ago

Jenkins can be extended with a VirtualBox plugin. I think this is the way to go:

Master: Linux system (e.g. Ubuntu) with Jenkins will build Linux versions
Slave: Windows VM will build for Windows
- running on the Master
- configured as a Jenkins slave
Slave: Mac Mini will build for OS-X
- configured as a Jenkins slave

We can ignore Mac builds for now. Later we would need a cheap Mac Mini from Ebay.
