Hi Alan, Using Jenkins for my Ceph building.... http://cephdev.digiware.nl:8180/jenkins/ More or less to give the other Ceph-developers access to errors/warnings that Clang on FreeBSD generates with their code. And it will alert me when there are commits on ceph/master that will break the master build. Setup/install was rather painless. Integration with GitHub from my end was rather simple, and I just poll GitHub to see if code has been added. That was a simple tick in a box. Could even integrate it the other way around, and have GitHub ping me if new versions needed to be build. But That I considered too much. The Java stuff runs big, but I did not have to touch it. I would not like to start doing things in Java, but up till now I did not have to. --WjW
