6 <h2>About the build farm</h2>
9 The samba.org build farm is designed to test the configuration, build,
10 install, and some runtime aspects of some projects hosted on samba.org in
11 real time. Each host in the build farm builds each of the projects regularly
12 (currently every 15 minutes for some hosts) and uploads the results of the
13 configure, build, install, and runtime testing to the central site
14 (<a href="http://build.samba.org/">build.samba.org</a>) for display.
18 This allows team members to check on the build status on a wide
19 variety of operating systems and architectures without the drudgery of
20 logging into each machine after each Git commit.
24 The build farm pulls the source code from the <a
25 href="http://www.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/">unpacked Git
26 repository</a> and does a clean configure and build whenever a change is
27 detected in the tree. The results shown give information on the status of the
28 configure and build process, plus any error logs.
33 The author of the build farm is <a href="mailto:tridge@samba.org">Andrew
34 Tridgell</a>. The source for the build farm is available in the build-farm
35 Git repository on the <a href="https://git.samba.org/">samba.org Git
