Changes in 3.0 include: * The www-exp module has been renamed webui, and a new web frontend has been added called paefchen. * All Tinderbox commands with the exception of tinderd are now performed using the tc utility. * The Hosts system has been removed as it was not really used, and not really suited to the purpose of distributed builds. The ground work has been laid to support distributed builds, but that is not present in 3.0. * A DISTFILE_URI config directive has been introduced to allow for distributed distfile caches. * The latest port fail reasons and patterns have been synced from pointyhat. * The total size taken by a port build (in KB) is now tracked in the database. This can be obtained using the command ``tc getPortTotalSize -d DIRECTORY -b BUILD''. * Port build logs now contain OPTIONS and environment details. * The ``tc addPort'' command assumes a recursive add by default. This can be disabled by passing the -R argument. * Port dependencies are now recorded in the database when ``tc addPort'' is called without -R. The dependency list can be retrieved with ``tc getDependenciesForPort -d DIRECTORY -b BUILD''. * The ``tc tbcleanup'' command now supports pruning stale distfiles, stale packages, and not pruning old error logs. See the README for command line details. * The default update type and update host are configurable at Setup and Upgrade time. The default update type has been changed from CVSUP to CSUP. * The last_fail_reason is now exported to the postPortBuild Hook. * Fix the build time display if a tinderbuild takes longer than 24 hours. * Add a new command, ``tc rescanPorts'' which updates the properties of all ports in the datastore (including dependencies). * Display the remake count in the webui frontends. * Hack around a potential perl-related leftover false positive. * A new -O option has been added to addPort/rescanPorts which enables OPTIONS, but does not run rmconfig before calling config. This way, existing OPTIONS can be preserved. The default behavior is to call rmconfig to maintain POLA. * The webui index page has been enhanced to make it more readable, and more powerful. * The number of ports not built due to dependency failures has been added to the webui's main page. * tc processLog -v now prints the matching text to aid with false positive identification. PLUS: * In webui: - Change tinderd queue view. Field for adding new ports is the first now. - Show target port of current build. - miwi's RSS module - an other patch from miwi for inc_tinderbox.php.dist which should make setting-up the webui easier on non-standard configurations. * Bug-fix: Add o and O to the list of valid options for addPort.

Tinderbox is a package building system for FreeBSD ports, based on
|
|
official Portbuild scripts used on pointyhat building cluster.
|
|
Tinderbox was written by Joe Marcus Clarke.
|
|
|
|
You can define multiple jails (base system versions) and multiple
|
|
portstrees. The combination of jail and portstree is called a build.
|
|
A Tinderbox jail is not what is understood as a jail in FreeBSD,
|
|
it is in fact a given world in a chroot. Tinderbox supports automatic
|
|
tracking of dependencies and only rebuilds packages that changed
|
|
since last run. Tinderbox has support for email notification of
|
|
failed builds. Tinderbox also integrates well with ccache.
|
|
|
|
Tinderbox is designed to easily provide package sets of ports you
|
|
need, for platforms and architectures you need. Tinderbox is also
|
|
excellent tool for testing new ports and port upgrades, especially
|
|
for testing dependencies and packing lists. It's also useful for
|
|
testing ports on various releases of FreeBSD, since you can run
|
|
FreeBSD 6.X world as a jail on FreeBSD 7.X/8.X host.
