Re: [BackupPC-users] Status on new BackupPC v4

Anyone have any thoughts about using buildbot? http://buildbot.net/

Looks like a pretty straightforward CI and testing tool that also integrates with github.

This would seem to be a good tool for local testing of backuppc functionality with various xfer methods after the build.

I would actually recommend doing this with Travis CI.

https://travis-ci.org/

It's 100% free for open source projects, and it has fantastic
integration with Github.

It's used by Facebook, Mozilla, Heroku, Twitter etc. It's very much used
by open source projects on Github.

We'll get a new VM for every build and we can test for all kinds of OSes.

A push to Github will automatically trigger a new build, where we build
and install the code and run the tests.
