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 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.
download and unpack the latest release of client code from - http://pgfoundry.org/frs/?group_id=1000040
read instructions at - http://pgfoundry.org/docman/view.php/1000040/4/PGBuildFarm-HOWTO.txt
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.

There is also some extra information in this -article about buildfarm on the O'Reilly network.

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".
