no, this is a fresh build from the start. The system cannot be built in
any other way, but for i586 that does not really hurt us too much since
the build is running at night and takes only 3-4 hours. ARM is
completely different though.

Announcing nightly builds for IPFire 2

[Michael Tremer]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1147 bytes --]

Hi,

I wanted to announce that since a few days we have a nightly build
service for IPFire 2 again.

This has been built to solve two things:

* First of all we now always have a fresh build. Please use that for
testing. Just download it and go. And please do not forget to report
any bugs you find.

* We will now know if the distribution builds on all architectures.
Many people do not have build hardware for all architectures, but some
have devices they can use for testing.


The builds are available here: http://nightly.ipfire.org/


Every night at 3:00 AM CET the build server will check if the next
branch has any new changes and if so start a build job. A couple of
hours later it will upload the build so that everyone has a fresh one
early in the morning. ARM builds will take usually longer than 24 days
though.

Builds will automatically be removed after 7 days. The latest build
will always be kept.

This is basically just two scripts doing the job. Nothing too exciting,
but we think it will be very helpful. If you have any ideas on how to
extend this service let me know. Also any other feedback is
appreciated.

Best,
-Michael

Michael,

This is the new version you guys have been working on? Is it stable
enough I can use it at my office so long as I have a backup router
available :). I've been running beta stuff whenever it comes out, but
have not started using the v2 stuff, if that is the new thing you guys
have been working on.

Hi Rod,

this is still the version of IPFire you know. It is just the next Core
Update with not too many changes.

IPFire 3 is currently not in there. We may publish some more details
about that after the IPFire Developer Summit in October.

Best,
-Michael
