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