Application to join PostgreSQL BuildFarm
Here is a short description of what is required to join the buildfarm successfully. Please read it carefully
before submitting this form.
- your machine will need to be able to contact http://www.pgbuildfarm.org
either directly or via proxy, and it will need access to a PostgreSQL Git repository,
either the one at postgresql.org or a mirror.
- have git installed.
- have a working Postgresql build environment for your platform.
- Windows only: you will need a native perl installed (and not just the one from the MSys DTK). The one from ActiveState works fine.
- download and unpack the latest release of client code from
http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/downloads/
- read instructions at
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Buildfarm_Howto
- get the software running locally using flags --force --nostatus --nosend
- register your machine on this page
- when you receive credentials, put them in the config file, and schedule regular builds (without those flags)
for the branches you want to support - which should be at least HEAD and the most recent stable branch.
- Note that it is possible (and quite common) to run more than one buildfarm member on a single machine.
Please complete all items.
For Linux, please specify the name and version of the Distribution for the Operating Systems items.
Do not use the name "Linux". For example, for my test machine the Operating
Systems is "Fedora Core" and the version is "4".
