Any update to be had here?

when can we expect 2.0?

thanks

Hi all,

Distributed builds are the main focus for our current development efforts and will be a core feature of Bamboo 2.0. Our best estimate is for the release of Bamboo 2.0 in mid-late January, though that can slip or shift forward as work continues. We appreciate everyone who's let us know how important this feature is to them in the meantime and are working towards implementing this functionality as soon as practical.

Cheers,
Dave

Having this feature would allow us to roll out Bamboo use to 50% of our development projects. Currently we are limited because of build platform restrictions to using multiple machine for various environments. Thus Distributed builds would allow our engineering department to unify on one build management platform.

Hjm, that might work for us in some cases as a temporary solution. When you define a custom builder, is there some parameters passed? Like the project name or path or something like that?

We've been using Hudson because we need to build on different linux platforms. However, just last week we started a new trial with Bamboo and we are successfully doing builds on different Linux platforms. We do this by

Making a custom builder using Putty's plink.

Arguments to the builder are
-batch -pw hudson1 hudson@10.20.3.173 /mnt/bamboo_build_dir/arbor-build.sh

We're using vmware to host our other environments and these have mounts to the shares on the bamboo machine. The script we are running simply cd's into the correct project and runs our makefiles. Heres the arbor-build.sh from above

cd /mnt/bamboo_build_dir/RPU-RBR
make clean
DEBUG=1 make all

So technically bamboo is doing everything we need and hopefully we'll purchase soon

Crucial for any real-world use of a build system. One machine simply cannot handle the load of multi-component builds with multiple regression test contexts and varying test stages.

Anyone tried just using ssh in a wrapper to offload the build/test work?

Was hoping to see progress on this issue - I'm getting more and more projects on our instance and fear the machine will become toooooo slow, is there any update you can give please.

Unvoted and stopped watching, since we're going with Hudson.
