 Posted: Sat Jan 19, 2008 4:21 am Post subject: [asterisk-users] Nightly tarballs, would you use them? |
 |
|
Greetings,
During the past week, there have been some requests for nightly tarballs to help
making testing new Asterisk code easier. There was some debate as to whether
they would be useful. The reason that they may not be useful is because you can
get equivalent access to new code just by accessing the subversion repository
directly. However, for one reason or another, some people would prefer to have
a tarball.
If this was available, would you be interested in it?
If you just want to say "yes or no" for the sake of the poll, fell free to
respond to me off-list. However, also fell free to respond here if you have
more verbose comments on the topic that you would like to share.

On occasion, yes.
I think nightly tarballs could be quite useful. Whilst it's easy to
check out from subversion directly, a nightly tarball provides a
specific point of reference which can be helpful when trying to
identify a problem. If we had a specific problem we were trying to
fix, I would very likely grab the latest tarball and try it out.

In subversion can you specify what revision you want to check out so it
is equally easy to know what version you want to test.
I can agree that a nightly tarball is a bit more spoon feeding for none
developer people.
And to create a nightly tarball is a script and a cron jobb so the
resources to maintain it should be low.
And for the poll, I would unlikely use the tarball.

The latest nightly tarball is not the latest SVN. Some problems may have
been fixed since.
svn co http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk asterisk-latest
Also, if your timezone is of the US, the nightly tarball may come in the
middle of your work day. Less of an issue for Europeans. More of an
issue for Indians and farther east.

I'd be even more likely to use nightly (or other periodic snapshot,
even weekly) .deb packages. Because then I could use APT to notify me
and manage them. Especially if they included a changelog (which APT
reports), even if that changelog were only names of files/modules
touched since the last one.

Binary packages are even more distro-specific.
If you're interested in automating the build of a nightly deb yourself,
I'd be happy to assist. We already do quite similar things for building
asterisk from (packager's) svn.

Have you tried the checkinstall app? It's a quick way to make a deb out
of a tarball install.

or svn checkout.
It will track make install and create a deb from it.
Besides .deb it also supports .rpm and .tgz (for rpm and
installpkg)
It's a nice tool for creating a package to distribute to all
your machines.

Then I'll wait for the next one

I don't think the time of the daily/nightly/afternoonly tarball is of
much importance.
