[BioRuby] [Open-bio Board] Buildbot on testing.open-bio.org

[Peter Cock]

Hi all,

Excellent news below from Tiago regarding nightly test - let's
continue this discussion here on the BioRuby list as suggested.

As a quick introduction, Tiago is one of the Biopython developers
(he works on Population Genetics), and he setup most of our
nightly test infrastructure for Biopython using buildbot.

During the BioHackathon 2011 in Kyoto, Raoul asked me about
doing the same for BioRuby - and others like Pjotr are also
keen.

Let's work on the issues Tiago has identified (e.g. non-zero
return codes, option to disable network tests, etc) before
extending this to more build slaves, and to look at the gems.

Regards,

Peter
