The Fruit Salad Ingredients
The Project
The aim of the project is to provide a centralized set of resources where we can handle all FreeBSD and KDE related build and configuration issues. This is an effort to serve both FreeBSD and KDE better, by enabling us to find and fix problems and provide enhancements, much earlier in the release cycle than ever before.
The Fruit Machines
Rabarber
The Swedish word for "Rhubarb"
The heart of the project, Rabarber provides storage for all the fruits. It's also the new PACKAGESITE host, where you can download and install juicy fresh versions of KDE.
Rabarber is an AMD XP 2200, with 1 GB RAM and 1.2 TB DISK
Hjortron
The Swedish word for "Cloudberry"
This is the webserver (your looking at it) It is a recent addition thanks to our sponsor.
Hjortron is a P4 2.66 Ghz with 1 GB RAM
Apelsin
The Swedish word for "Orange"
Apelsin provides a public CVSup and anonymous CVS server for the KDE repository, along with being cvsup4.se.freebsd.org and anoncvs.se.freebsd.org. It also handles FreeBSD and KDE internally for the rest of the fruits, allowing us to save bandwidth and still keep all the machines up to date.
Apelsin is a P4 2.8 Ghz with 2 GB RAM
Mango
Swedish isn't always hard to understand, "Mango" is the same as in English
Mango is now the snapshot build machine for FreeBSD -CURRENT It will upload periodic snapshots of FreeBSD-CURRENT and generate ISO's of the i386 snapshots.
Mango is a 1.8 Ghz celeron with 512 MB RAM
Vindruva
The Swedish word for "grape"
This machine shares the load of building FreeBSD snapshots with mango. Vindruva is much newer than mango, and handles mainly FreeBSD-STABLE snapshots.
Vindruva is a P3 700 Mhz with 256MB of RAM
Vattenmelon
The Swedish word for "Watermelon"
This is a bit of a playground. It's running -STABLE, and we have a copy of KDE CVS checked out and use this for debugging build problems in between releases of KDE. It's also where some other apps that we like get a workout, including third party KDE applications, and things like distcc.
Vattenmelon is a 1ghz celeron with 768 MB RAM
Honungsmelon
The Swedish word for "Honeymelon"
As with Vattenmelon, but Honungsmelon runs -CURRENT.
Honungsmelon is a PIII 700 with 256 MB RAM.
If you'd like an account on one of the melons, write to Lauri with the following information:
What project or KDE app you're working on
Your ssh2 key(s)
Preferred username and shell
Kiwi
Kiwi is of course, a kiwi fruit (not a bird, that wouldn't fit our naming scheme!)
In particular, this Kiwi is an Alphaserver 4100 with 512 MB RAM and bazillions of disks. It will be available for remote accounts in the future, right now it's going to be used for debugging the KDE ports builds for Alpha.
Ananas
The Swedish word for "Pineapple"
Ananas is the controller of the package build cluster. It's the one that distributes the jobs. Ananas and it's slaves can build all of KDE and all it's dependencies automatically, and (if we've done our job on Vattenmelon) without intervention, in about 5 hours.
Ananas is a P3 800 with 512 MB RAM
Jordgubben1, Jordgubben2, Jordgubben3 and Jordgubben 4
Jordgubben is the Swedish word for "Strawberry"
These are the package building slaves. Ananas hands out the jobs, and the jordgubben's do the building. In the future, we might add more machines to this cluster, but for now they're doing fine.
Jordgubben 1 and 2 are P4 1.7 ghz machines with 768 MB RAM each. Jordgubben 3 is a Celeron 2 Ghz with 768 MB of RAM. Jordgubben 4 is a Celeron 1 Ghz with 768 Mb of RAM.
We have a page of usage statistics on all the machines listed above.
