Hi there,
i have seen what you've started to implement with the Android Build service. I am wondering if:
- all the source code / tools you've put in place is available (source
code)
Yes. See
https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/LinaroAndroidBuildService
for pointers
- how easy (or not) would that be to deploy this infrastructure 'internally'
so that we can use it for private builds for example?
It depends what you mean by 'internally'. If you want everything to be within your firewall then you will need a UEC setup to be able to duplicate it exactly. You could have a more static setup if your load is well known with just a couple of machines.
If you don't have to have it in your firewall then you could run up your own instance of the stuff, but you would have to put some thought in to authentication of the different services to each other, as well as authenticating back to your network for the source code to build.
- what are the requirements on the 'server/host' to be able to replicate
this setup?
Quite low. You will want the slaves to have good I/O and network an pretty good CPU, but you probably know what it takes to build Android already.
The other services don't take a whole lot. The master will want plenty of hard disk if you plan to do a lot of builds. The mirror wants to have plenty of hard disk, good network and I/O and reasonable CPU, but you can omit that service if you are running inside the firewall.
Thanks,
