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 CVS repository,
- either the one at postgresql.org or a mirror (you can set up your own mirror using CSVup on a Linux or FreeBSD machine -
- this is recommended).
-
have a working Postgresql build environment for your platform
- (for Windows this means MSys/MinGW with the libz and libintl stuff, and ideally native Python and Tcl).
-
Windows only: you will need a native perl installed as well as the one in the MSys DTK. The one from ActiveState works fine.

+
get the software running locally using --test (implies flags --force --nostatus --nosend --verbose)
+
add --verbose=2 to printout out the entire configure/build/doc/test output
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.
