Autobuild Screenshot

Here is the obligatory "screenshot" of the autobuild system.

Photo of build system

At the top of the rack there is a 1U dual rackmount which hosts the www.netwinder.org and ftp.netwinder.org sites, respectively. Those machines are known as kei and yuri, you can ask Mark Knox or Eric LaForest why they have these names :)

The remaining machines form the autobuild system - these are the ones that do all the compiling of RPMs. If you look closely you will notice that a couple of units are not plugged in at the time of taking this photo. I need to get another power bar! (Update 14/12/2002: power bar obtained, now I need to take a new picture!)

Easily recognized are the eight desktop model 2100's, supported by two dual-Rackmounts. The one at the very bottom is hard to see, although the green LED's for ethernet and power clearly visible.

At the base there is a small UPS that powers kei, yuri and the switch. Not visible in the photo are all the individual power supplies for each of the NetWinders -- they are stacked up in behind of the UPS with quite a lot of cables all tied together into little bundles.

Thanks

The following individuals have donated or lent equipment to support the construction of the autobuild system. The list is sorted in order when we received the equipment, for lack of a better metric. Many thanks for your generosity and suport!

Thanks also go out to the folks at Netwinder Inc, particularly Dave and Spencer, for providing all sorts of spare parts to keep the build machines happy.
