6 <h1>Application to join PostgreSQL BuildFarm</h1>
8 <p>Here is a short description of what is required to join the buildfarm successfully. Please read it carefully
9 before submitting this form.</p>
12 <li> your machine will need to be able to contact <a href="http://www.pgbuildfarm.org">http://www.pgbuildfarm.org</a>
13 either directly or via proxy, and it will need access to a PostgreSQL CVS repository,
14 either the one at postgresql.org or a mirror (you can set up your own mirror using CSVup on a Linux or FreeBSD machine -
15 this is recommended).</li>
16 <li> have a working Postgresql build environment for your platform
17 (for Windows this means MSys/MinGW with the libz and libintl stuff, and ideally native Python and Tcl).</li>
18 <li> Windows only: you will need a native perl installed as well as the one in the MSys DTK. The one from ActiveState works fine.</li>
19 <li> download and unpack the latest release of client code from
20 <a href="http://pgfoundry.org/frs/?group_id=1000040">http://pgfoundry.org/frs/?group_id=1000040</a></li>
21 <li> read instructions at
22 <a href="http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Buildfarm_Howto">http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Buildfarm_Howto</a></li>
23 <li> get the software running locally using flags --force --nostatus --nosend</li>
24 <li> register your machine on this page</li>
25 <li> when you receive credentials, put them in the config file, and schedule regular builds (without those flags)
26 for the branches you want to support - which should be at least HEAD and the most recent stable branch.</li>
30 <p>Please complete all items.</p>
31 <p>For Linux, please specify the name and version of the <b>Distribution</b> for the Operating Systems items.
32 Do not use the name "Linux". For example, for my test machine the Operating
33 Systems is "Fedora Core" and the version is "4".</p>
