Okay, FATE<\/a> is back online, somewhat. First and foremost, you will notice that Mac OS X autobuilds are at the top of the page. I know it doesn’t look like much is different but I changed a whole lot of stuff under the covers to get to that point. I have not re-instated the x86_32 or x86_64 build\/test cycles for Linux yet because I would like to see this new script bake for a day or 2 before copying it to other systems. The PPC build\/test cycles are running because I can’t figure out how to make the new script run on that machine (hi Gentoo!), so it gets to stick to the older, still functional script for now.<\/p>\n

If you will indulge a little self back-patting, I’m rather pleased with how this new system is shaping up. I set out to solve one problem but I wound up realizing solutions and better approaches for a whole lot more things. The new system is already faster and more resilient to intermittent network problems (that will never go away completely no matter what availability and bandwidth guarantees we have). Going forward, I have new ideas about how to make the system easier to administer, and to allow co-administrators to help out as well. Look for more platforms on FATE in the near future as it should be much easier for others to run the client program and automatically submit data back to the server. And it may even be possible to adapt the system for other projects.<\/p>\n

I look forward to writing up more notes about the infrastructure changes. Most of them boil down to my new love affair with SQLite<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
