Basically, the first thing that needs to be done is add a new step to Buildbot's build process. Once a new step has been added, the next step is to make this new build step access my EC2 account <tr> <td>0. 5 Release</td> <td></td> <td style="background-color: red; text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: bigger">High</td> <td>[[User:Awdelyea|Adam Delyea]]</td> <td style="background-color: SkyBlue; text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: bigger">In Progress</td> <td>3/1/08</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr>
After I can actually access my EC2 account through Buildbot, then a possible next step would be <tr> <td>Testing</td> <td>People needed to download the revisions and test them to make Buildbot check sure it works in different environments. Note, this will require you to see if I have any open Virtual Instances running already (no point in starting another instance if ones running already)your own EC2 account. </td> <td style="background-color: grey; text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: bigger">Expired</td> <td style="background-color: gold; text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: bigger">NEEDED! ***<br />[http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/User:dominic Dominic Baranski]</td> <td style="background-color: grey; text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: bigger">Expired</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr>
One thing that may need <tr> <td><del>Different Builds</del></td> <td><del>Need different projects to be kept in mind try and build, to make sure it works to build projects other than Mozilla</del><br />This is that Amazon charges 10 cents per hour, or part of an hour, per instance. So, each time you start no longer a new instance, it costs 10 centspriority. The best way I can think Building with Mozilla is the focus of doing this is make each instance you start, last for at least an hour, so that if you start another build in 10 mins, you project. The EC2 functionality can continue be extracted and used to use the same instance instead of starting a new onebuild any program / system.</td> <td style="background-color: grey; text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: bigger">Expired</td> <td style="background-color: gold; text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: bigger">NEEDED! ***<br />[http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index. php/User:dominic Dominic Baranski]</td> <td style="background-color: grey; text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: bigger">Expired</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr>
For this, Buildbot would need to run a service on the OS to constantly check to see if an instance is approaching the 1 hour mark, and not running any build slaves. Not quite sure how I'd do that, but it's something to keep in mind. <tr> <td>Complete Documentation</td> <td></td> <td style="background-color: orange; text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: bigger">Medium</td> <td>[[User:Awdelyea|Adam Delyea]]</td> <td style="background-color: green; text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: bigger">In Progress</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> <td>&nbsp;</td> </tr></table> = Release 0.2 =Contributions == <br/><div style=== Release 0"background-color: gold; text-align: center;font-weight: bold;">&nbsp;<br />*** Would you like to contribute?
