World: r4wp

Thanks a lot Bo! To make things easier, all donations for the R3/Droid 
port I'm wokring on are going thru Saphirion's webpage.

Bo, thanks a lot! That's really great.

Good job with the prebuild site

Thanks!

A very kind gift to the REBOL community.

Nice work Andreas!

Andreas: you should let Carl know by mentioning it on the GitHub, 
I think

I wrote Carl a mail to tell him about it.

Yes, Andreas, very nice looking site. And thanks too to Saphirion 
for the build farm.

Build farm is 2/3 mine, 1/3 Saphirion :)

Saphirion contributes the OSX machine, for which I'm very grateful.

Very nice work Andreas!

Andreas, good idea.


I'd only add that you should append the rebol version to the executables/archives 
(if ever), so that when we download them, they don't overwrite each 
other.  adding the version will also classify each version based 
on its platform.

Maxim, thanks.

The version is already appended to the executable names, that's the 
-g.... suffix. For these automated builds, the Rebol version is currently 
rather meaningless, it will always be 2.101.0.


I'll think about appending a platform key to the binary names themselves.

thanks for considering it.    :-)

at some point, the version will be incremented no?

Are you going to keep older versions?

when some dramatic changes will occur, it might be necessary... for 
example, some tools might require older binaries until they are updated.

it would be good for doing triage on bugs

maybe, simply adding a folder with the date of any automated builds. 
 this way we can easily backtrack any issues in time.

sorry, meant doing something like bisect of version control, not 
triage

binaries are not deleted, so you can still download them, if you 
have the url. i'll probably add an archive page later on.

What about the points I asked about in the community group? Not worth 
it, you think?

ah, sorry, forgot about those questions :)

compiler switches: i'm currently building from the mainline sources 
without any custom modifications.

so typically a build is just three steps:
- fetching an r3-make
- make make
- make clean prep

well, some build details might be nice - for example under Windows 
which toolchain was used - these details might be important if/when 
people start comparing performance among builds gotten here and elsewhere

toolchain is mentioned on the downloads page.

win7, gcc 4.6.2, r3 2.100.111.3.1 for bootstrapping

I'm blind

if you need/want more detail, just ask away

debug builds: maybe. i'd like to get this added to the mainline sources 
first. once that's done, i'm still not so sure if they really are 
that useful at the moment, as I think they won't help much without 
a build environment set up.

but then, why not :)

if you provided symbols, you could have useful output even with something 
like process explorer

and maybe a link to how to use the symbols with process explorer 
- this would allow relatively non-technical people report readable 
stack traces on a hang, for example

maybe point to this, if you add symbols:


http://superuser.com/questions/462969/how-can-i-view-the-active-threads-of-a-running-program

well, with the basic build farm in place and the website launched, 
i'll maybe get to some more build process revisions (including debug 
builds) soon.

Nice .. are you adopting fork's logo for the open source rebol now 
:)  ?

Some sites like to add md5 checksums to their downloads pages

Thanks, to Andreas and the Saphirion team!

I'm good with Fork's logo.  If the community agrees on a different 
one in the future, it could be changed.  Some projects, like Cobian 
Backup, have a different logo for each major release. :-O

Graham, did you ever check the md5sums?

aha, I was surprised by your first result, sqlab

I too.)

Andreas, yes for ISO images :)

Thanks Andreas, Cyphre, Robert and all the others actively implied 
in R3 dev, the ongoing progress and all the tools you shared and 
have committed online. The R3Droid chat works well under my Android 
3.2 (Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1). and the chat also runs fine under 
my Win7 Toshiba -  from the binaries set online at http://www.rebolsource.net

Kaj, where exactly is the window32 binary in http://archives.esperconsultancy.nl/Red-test/dir?ci=tip
 ?


Every click on a .exe takes me to more and more html pages.  Most
