[Condor-devel] Build System Change Requests

[Andy Pavlo <pavlo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings!

I am curious about getting two things changed in the Condor build scripts. 
These are in response to the problems that the FreeBSD build system is 
having. I think that it would be good to make the changes at our end, because 
this will allow Condor to be smoke tested on many different *BSD platforms, 
including NetBSD and OpenBSD, using their system.

First, the build process takes up too much space. I am using "make public" in 
order to get a release.tar that I can pass to condor_configure. Is there an 
easier (and ultimately a faster) way to get the stripped binaries without 
making so many different tarballs?

Here's the error that keeps occurring:

http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-errorlogs/e.6.2008030520/condor-7.0.0.log

I haven't been able to get a straight answer from them about how much space is 
allocated for a build. But it looks like we get pretty far before it dies.

Second, their build system times out when the Condor build doesn't produce any 
output for an extended period of time. I think it occurred during the Globus 
build, which writes to log file. It would be nice if there was a flag to 
provide to the build scripts so that it always printed everything to STDOUT.

That's all for now!
