GNU Octave uses Buildbot to build and test the current development version on multiple systems in a number of different configurations.

The current status of the builds may be found at http://buildbot.octave.org:8010/#/waterfall.

Systems and Configurations

The following systems and configurations are currently covered for Octave builds:

Builder ID Hg Version System Compiler Build Options Frequency
clang-4.0-debian default Debian Testing Clang 4.0 Any Change
stable-clang-4.0-debian stable Debian Testing Clang 4.0 Any Change
clang-5.0-debian default Debian Testing Clang 5.0 Any Change
stable-clang-5.0-debian stable Debian Testing Clang 5.0 Any Change
clang-fedora default Fedora 25 Clang (system default) Any Change

Setup and run a Buildbot Worker

Your system may be behind a firewall. It does not have to have a distinct public IP address.

To support Octave development and run a Buildbot Worker, you must do the following:

  • Contact the Octave Maintainers on Discourse to let us know that you wish to provide a system to use as a Buildbot Worker. We will give you a WORKERNAME and a secret PASSWORD to configure your Buildbot Worker.
  • Install buildbot. Packages exist for most distributions. See the buildbot docs for other options. You should create a separate user account with no special privileges that will run buildbot.
  • Decide for a BASEDIR. For example, if the home directory for the buildbot user is /var/lib/buildbot and your WORKERNAME is set to 'debian-x86_64' , then BASEDIR might be /var/lib/buildbot/worker/debian-x86_64.
  • MASTERHOST is buildbot.octave.org and PORT is 9989.
  • Create the configuration
    buildbot-worker create-worker BASEDIR MASTERHOST:PORT WORKERNAME PASSWORD
  • Run buildbot on the worker system, preferably by starting it automatically when your system boots. It should be running with the buildbot user ID.
    buildbot-worker start BASEDIR

ccache

You may also want to set up ccache to work with buildbot (strongly recommended to speed up builds). If you create a directory ~/buildbot/bin, it will be added to the execution PATH when the Buildbot Master runs commands on the Buildbot Worker. This directory can have symbolic links like the following:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 buildbot buildbot 15 Aug 26 11:39 gcc -> /usr/bin/ccache
lrwxrwxrwx 1 buildbot buildbot 15 Aug 26 11:40 cc -> /usr/bin/ccache
lrwxrwxrwx 1 buildbot buildbot 15 Aug 26 11:40 c++ -> /usr/bin/ccache
lrwxrwxrwx 1 buildbot buildbot 15 Aug 31 23:46 gfortran -> /usr/bin/ccache

They should point to the actual location of ccache if it is not in /usr/bin.

Space Requirements

Building Octave takes a significant amount of disk space. With debugging symbols, you may need several GB for each build, plus room for ccache (possibly 50GB) if you use it. If you use a cache size that is larger than the default, you'll need to specify that in the .ccache/ccache.conf file using a line like

max_size = 50G

If the directory containing the build and ccache directories doesn't have sufficient space, then these directory names may point to a separate partition that does have enough space available.
