Legacy Builders

These builders are configured and run manually. The goal is to migrate as many as possible over to the new system.

Builder Requirements

  • internet connection (at least be able to access Google and http://build.golang.org)
  • preferably with two or more (V)CPUs, as at least one test (sync/atomic requires runtime.NumCPU() > 1 to test more completely)
  • at least 512MiB of memory

Restrictions

  • The combination of Ubuntu 11.10 or 12.04 OMAP4 kernel and pandaboard (ES) have proven unstable as builders. See issue 4305. Make sure you have updated to the latest available 12.04.2 release.

How to set up a builder

  1. obtain a hash from Go team members, and put that in ~/.gobuildkey
  2. go get golang.org/x/tools/dashboard/cmd/builder
  3. builder YOUR_BUILDER_NAME

Special notes

  • Please make sure you‘ve installed root certificates and it’s accessible to Go programs. For example, on NetBSD, you will need to install security/mozilla-rootcerts.
  • If your builder runs Unix, please install perl, as tests for go.tools/cmd/vet need it.
  • Use screen(1) instead of tmux(1) to host the builder process, as the later interference with some of the os/signal tests.
  • Raise ulimits on Unix: thread count (-r), nofiles (-n, 1024 should be fine)
