1. Nightly builds

Hello Euphoria admins
Could the Nightly builds under the Downloads page on openeuphoria.org be re-instated or alter that title please?
About six months ago was the last build available via this link... hardly nightly is it?
Yes I know I could install the Mercurial dev environment etc but I'm sure most new users would abandon Euphoria instead :(

Thanks

Well, if the nightly builds could be done, but update and save the date only for successful builds,
then the bleeding edge executables are available for whoever wants to test it for the developers.
Or recreate bugs etc, different windoze/Linux versions etc, so the devs don't have to test changes on tons of VM's

I dunno how to update the wiki, wouldn't do that anyway without consent as that is kinda bad manners towards the Euphoria dev/admin people.

I do have some spare time at the moment, and can spare a few dollars too ;) so I could host a decent website for the automated builds?
Cheers, Alan

This would be greatly appreciated!

Agreed. That's why they were originally started. Now, I don't think the lack of updates to that is scaring away many (or any) new users .. but I also see it as a very good thing to get them back up as soon as possible.

In general? Or just our wiki?

Ah. Agreed, that makes a lot of sense.

Um, $19.95/mo is considerably more than what we're paying for right now. Your gift of $240 would be highly appreciated, but I'd be concerned that we wouldn't be able to continue to afford it after that.

Well, what spec of host box is needed...?
Bandwidth, disk space, ram is easy, the more the merrier ;) but we may get better value in another resource area if we limit what we don't need.
EG shared virtual server vs dedicated? Linux vs Windows?
I do recall some Euphorians having issues with providers where customer written scripts are not allowed,
the Euphoria interpreter can't be added to ld.so.conf etc.
I will commit to donating the first $250.
Regards, Alan

Actually, I think a second Burst.net VPS would fit the bill - another of what we already have. (The current VPS is 50GB storage and 1GB ram).

The reason we don't want to run the nightly builds on our webserver is because they are CPU intensive enough that they might affect website performance. (This is especially the case if we're cross compiling the mingw builds.)

Looking at that webpage, it seems that if we could live with 10GB storage, we can get $2/mo. Or for $7/mo, we could get 100GB and 1TB bandwitdh. I don't currently see a deal for 50GB of storage at $1.25/mo (which adds up to $15/year).

We shouldn't need even 1GB to build euphoria though. (Yes, even counting the mingw cross compilter tools (88MB), 1GB is more than enough.)

Yep, shared is probably out for that reason. A virtual server would work, I don't think we need a dedicated physical one. We're also better off with Linux or a nix family OS.

Fortunately, we won't need this either way. :confused:

Again, this is greatly appreciated. My thoughts are to pick the cheapest $2/mo VPS and use that.

This was the deal I got back in November. It may not be current any more, but it is an example of some of the great deals you can find.

Here is a similar deal (50GB) for $18/year, along with an even cheaper deal for $13.50/year.

And how about this one for only $5.63/year?!

I just did a search for "/year" and sifted through the results.
