[darcs-devel] [issue997] automated building and uploading of packages

[Eric Kow]

Eric Kow <kowey at darcs.net> added the comment:

The wiki currently has this text:
----------------8<-------------------------------
Several darcs builtbots are configured in a way that they upload the latest
greatest darcs binary produced by the last successful build to the publicly
available host on the Internet. Have a look here for the list of snapshots:
https://zooko.com/darcsbuildbot/uploads/

Note: since Zooko does not have CA signed certificate you will need to accept
the security exception in your browser. How to do it depends on your browser
software. 
-------------8<---------------------------

What may be nicer is to have a link to each binary separately with a description
of the corresponding build slave.  We don't necessarily have to automate it,
just find a good way to cut and paste the information from somewhere.

Another thing that would help is to find a way to deal with the problem that
anybody visiting zooko.com gets "zooko.com uses an invalid security
certificate.".  First impressions count and for most people that message just
means "run away!"

One solution I will not be able to support right now is: finding a wiki which
will allow for software uploads (no time, nor anybody to delegate to with time,
plus I don't want to launch us into a wiki bikeshed ond besides, we already want
to try gitit+darcs}).
