PowerPC snapshots

[Phil]

Can we get more frequent PowerPC snapshots?

Thanks.

More frequent than ???
AFAIK they are daily.

They used to be. Now the most recent PowerPC snapshot is dated 20060712, almost 3 weeks old. The Intel snapshots for OS X are up-to-date, so not sure why the PowerPC snapshot are not.

Thanks.

There are some problems with the build server. If they won't get solved in a week, I will try setup another.

I have uploaded a darwin-powerpc snapshot. It uses fpc 2.0.4-rc2 instead of the usually 2.1.1.

This build process is not fully automated yet, so expect irregular updates.

Hi, I need the latest 2.1.1 PPC build (as of Nov. 2, 2006). May I ask that it be uploaded to the snapshot server?

Thanks.

[Vincent Snijders]

You certainly may ask. It makes clear that there is a demand for fpc 2.1.1 powerpc snapshots.

I cannot commit to an exact date, but I hope to be able to provide 2.1.1 powerpc snapshots before the end of the month.

In the meantime, how about more recent 2.0.4 snapshots?

Thanks.

At this moment I have a problem with the build machine. I cannot connect to svn anymore. It seems a new firewall has been installed, which causes some problems.

When these problems are solved, I will do the following in this order:
1. Create the Lazarus 0.9.20 release
2. Activate the daily snapshots based on fpc 2.0.4
3. Create a new set of daily snapshots based on fpc 2.1.1.

Vincent, if you have the scripts for me how to build them, I can make the ppc snaps as well.

An update:

The build machine can connect to the svn repository again.
Lazarus 0.9.20 has been released.
Daily snapshots based on 2.0.4 work again.

Currently fpc 2.1.1 doesn't compile. As soon as it does, I will upload a one time fpc 2.1.1.  After that I will work on automating daily snapshots.
