[yocto] RFC: Web UI design for bitbake

[Uriel Liu]

Hi Samuel,

Thanks for your precious comment which is much more valuable than 0.02 cents (lol) . I'll take a look at Jenkins and Hudson to see how could we save our effort with these.

Sincerely yours,
Uriel Liu

It sounds like you want to build it all from scratch, quite a lot of work to build a fully featured web build system, in this case compatibility to other systems would be nice.


For web builds with bitbake, Jenkins-CI (a fork of the continuous integration system Hudson) [1] could be worth a look, it is more than just a build tool.

There is also Autobuilder, but I guess for end users it is too much configuration effort?
Jenkins-CI was very easy to setup and with a plug-in it could be as simple as pointing the web-UI to the Bitbake path, managing cluster/cloud/slave-pc entities is easy too.

Just my 0.02 cents in the case that you didn't already cast it in concrete.
IMHO it looks like Jenkins and the concept-pdf are very similar, only difference seems to be: you want to invent it all by yourself?
