Its all branches all the way down, so we can start work anywhere and push it to an "official" PSF bin later I think. I'm sure we will want to host a mirror of it on the python.org hg server too, just for discoverability. --Noah On Aug 31, 2011, at 1:12 PM, Miquel Torres wrote: > Oh, cool, so there will be an Opscode hosted account for the PSF, > right?

Opscode has already agreed to donate a Hosted account as long we keep it under ~20 clients :-) I can hand out the info for it to anyone that wants. As for setting up the Chef repo, just remember we are trying to not manage this system in isolation and that it will be part of a bigger PSF infrastructure management effort. --Noah On Aug 31, 2011, at 11:34 AM, Miquel Torres wrote: > Hi all, > > though I took up on the task of installing a Codespeed instance > myself, I didn't have time until now.

The PyPy folk could answer this as they have their repo on bitbucket already. Else I guess we can just create a standalone account that represents the official speed.python.org account.

Hi all, though I took up on the task of installing a Codespeed instance myself, I didn't have time until now. This weekend I will definitely have a *lot* of time to work on this, so count on that task being done by then. The bitbucket issue tracker is a start (though a organization account would be better) and the splash page is great. So let's get started organizing things. Regarding the deployment strategy, it turns out I use Chef at work, so I am in full agreement with Noah here (yey!). Actually, I am the author of LittleChef (which we can use as a tool to execute Chef on the node). So, Configuration Management. I would propose that Noah starts the repo with the Chef cookbooks (preferably a complete LittleChef kitchen, but that is not a must :), and gets the main recipes (apache, django) going, while I create a cookbook for Codespeed. What do you think? The benchmark runner question is still open. We need to clarify that. Use the pypy runner? Tennessee's work? Regarding repositories and issues, we could maybe have a "speed" organization account (not sure on Bitbucket, you can do that in Github), where we have a wiki, issues, and runner + config management repo + other stuff.

I want to know the status of DasIch's GSoC project to work on the coderunner. i.e. GSoC is over now, so we can start hacking on whereever he left off, correct? Laura

Yahr, I be here. I would really like to see this done under a config management system (I prefer Chef and thats been the plan so far unless there are heavy objections). In general no one should ever be changing things on any PSF server by hand if at all possible in the interests of disaster recovery, reproducibility, and some modicum of enforced documentation (even if that doc is just a Chef recipe). --Noah On Aug 30, 2011, at 5:35 PM, Alex Gaynor wrote: > I've gotten Noah Kantrowitz on here, he's doing some other infrastructure stuff for the PSF, and would like to include speed.python.org in the proper organization of the machines, rather than ad-hoc "everyone installs what they think it needs" :) > > Alex > > On Tue, Aug 30, 2011 at 8:28 PM, Jesse Noller <jnoller(a)gmail.com> wrote: > (Re-sending intentionally - I wasn't subbed to pypy-dev and got rejected) > > On Tue, Aug 30, 2011 at 8:22 PM, Jesse Noller <jnoller(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > Here's a summary (nicely put together by Nick Coghlan): > > > > - OSU/OSL have set up the machine itself (details in the July list archives) > > - I am the machine admin (I have root) > > - Tennessee and Miquel are working on getting codespeed up and running > > > > - I and Maciej are already too busy to handle the coordination/admin > > side of things > > > > I just added the "speedracer" account - a common account to setup > > things as needed.

Hi Jesse, hi all, On 31/08/11 02:37, Jesse Noller wrote: > Yes, I should have looped Noah in sooner. > > I have all the keys / passwords. Right now we need: > > 1. codespeed > 2. benchmark runners The second item is divided into two sub-items: the runner itself, and something that triggers a run nightly/on request. In PyPy, we currently use a modified version of the Unladen Swallow benchmark runner (look at runner.py): https://bitbucket.org/pypy/benchmarks/src in its current state, it is sub-optimal, because it was designed to compare two pythons side-by-side, and not to save the results and then upload them to a website. As a consequence, it always runs the benchmarks twice. With PyPy, it's lesser of a problem because for each binary we always run the benchmarks with the default options and with "--jit off" anyway, but for CPython running them twice would result in a waste of time. I suppose that the current runner is good enough for now and to get started, however at some point it will need some care. Then, we need something which triggers the actual benchmark run. In PyPy, we use buildbot, and each benchmark run first do a full translation, then executes the benchmarks. I can setup a buildbot instance on speed.pypy.org, if you give me access to the machine. I propose that as a very first step, we just make speed.pypy.org a buildslave which depends on pypy's own buildmaster. This makes it very easy and fast to setup it, so we can have something running soon. ciao, Anto
