[Scummvm-devel] Buildbot reminder

[Max Horn]

Hi folks,

First off, I recently noticed that some people are apparently not  
aware that we offer nightly builds via buildbot now. Well, we do, and  
those are even linked from  <http://www.scummvm.org/downloads/>. Or  
get the full list at <http://buildbot.scummvm.org/snapshots/trunk/>.

Secondly, I wanted to say that Andre made the buildbot config a bit  
more flexible; as a result, the OS X built now contains a  
"ScummVM.app" bundle and thus is finally usable for non-geek endusers!  
It's currently missing the README and COPY* files, but that'll be  
fixed soon, I am sure.

Now, it would be nice to get other ports to take advantage for that.  
In particular:
* For Debiarn, create (additonally?) .deb files.
* For the mingw builds, package them into a .zip not a .tar.bz (not as  
important as we don't link to them and Kirben's builds are still the  
official ones, but it would be good nevertheless).

* For the DC a CD disc image would be nice. Marcus, the DC disc images  
currently all use Nero. Is that mandatory? Could we use something like  
in this guide: <http://mc.pp.se/dc/cdr.html> ? Because that could be  
automated on our buildbot host, Nero obviously not ;).


Third: It would still be nice to have builds for other Linux distros,  
like Fedora, Ubuntu (can they use Debian .debs?), Slackware, etc. --  
if anybody here is familiar with


Last, it would still be nice to get nightlies for PS2, NDS, and WinCE  
-- all of these should be doable since they use cross compilers  
anyway. Of course any other platforms is highly welcome, too.


Bye,
Max
