[Python-Dev] buildbots (original) (raw)

Hello,

As someone who could (perhaps) (potentially) provide a buildbot machine, there are several questions which need answering before I take a decision:

are more buildbots needed and if so, which kinds of platforms/architectures?
for which software? Python itself? third-party apps and libraries?
how resource-consuming is it? CPU? memory? disk space? can it run along other services fine or does it need the whole machine for itself?
how time-consuming is it (in terms of human work)? I may spend a bit of time at the start to set it up but I'd like it to it run quite flawlessly afterward. I'm really not a sysadmin at heart...

I suppose other interested people could ask themselves the same questions...

Just my 2 cents.

Antoine.
