Where did the nightlies go?

Post by Weaselboy »

http://transmission.xpjets.com/

I looked at the above link to get the latest nightly and it has nothing later than r9009. The page mentions nightlies have been discontinued at that page because of changeset 9010. I read the changeset and it not apparent to me what this all means.

Where can I get latest nightly for OS X?

Thanks

  • changeset 9010 and above requires Xcode 3.2 to build
  • Xcode 3.2 requires 10.6 to run
  • ..and 10.6 requires Intel based mac
until that changeset my old G4 Mac mini was able to build nightlies for xpjets..
but not anymore..

Where can I get latest nightly for OS X?
at the first glance I have no idea..

I don't have near future plans to install 10.6 to my iMac (10.4.11 is solid enough)
neither dont' I have near future plans to buy new mini as toy-box for 10.6



actually, you can build them yourself if you have Snow Leopard..
Xcode (3.2 or above) and svn command line tool (1.5.4 or above) are required
to let that script to do the job for you..


any questions?

good luck! :)

Thanks Pea! Built some r9034 candy on SL. Script works like a charm. Getting tracker responses again.

So pre-compiled versions of OS X nightlies will no longer be available then?

sorry to hear that. i just ran the script exactly as pea posted it, on my 10.6 machine. if someone can change the script to make it produce a leopard-compatible version i'll be happy to run it again, but i don't know how to do that (or if it's possible).

that's because the xcode file has the 10.6 sdk as default.
the problem is i wasn't able to build a current checkout with anything else but the 10.6 sdk which would restrict all nightlies to 10.6 for the moment.
i'm not against upgrades but dumping 10.5 support a few days after 10.6 came out seems inexplicable and i hope it won't be for long.

The current trunk now requires 10.6 to build, but will run on 10.5 (as or 9055). The nightlies are currently built on a PPC machine, which is why they haven't been updated in a while. We're looking into alternatives.

hi,

not necessarily

if somebody is interested about handling the building script
then I'm glad to give that script to him/her...
(actually that is the non-stripped version of script I posted above)

system requirements:
* Intel mac with 10.6
* Xcode 3.2 (or above)
* svn command line tool (v1.5.4 or above)
* 24/7 internet connection to send precompiled builds to xpjets

if anybody is interested,
please contact me privately..

basic understanding of unix shell programming is helpful of course

TriOx? hippy dave? anybody else?
