Description retired 2013-10-15 09:51:46 UTC 
Problem description: all OS X nightly builds are dead and gone since around mid/end september.

Steps to reproduce:
1. visit http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/
2. all OS X builds are dead

Current behavior: the nightly builds have proven to be extremely helpful when triaging and testing latest changes.

Expected behavior: I know builds can be created locally. But in times where everybody is sooo busy a central solution to offer nightly builds is much more effective. Not everybod has the disk space, time and skill required to do a local build. If we want to improve QA we need nightly builds available for all platforms. I'm sure this could be solved via virtual machines? If machines are missing those should be bought by TDF. I'm sure this will be an investment that will pay off easily.

              
Operating System: Mac OS X
Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha0+ Master

I can confirm this.

Good news: new hardware will arrive this week, probably next week (or at least "in a reasonable time") we'll have again Mac OSX master builds \o/

Kind regards,
Joren

This is awesome news. Very happy to see TDF understands the importance of this. Should this be assigned to anybody specific?

I know Christian Lohmaier is currently working on this, but not sure we have to 'assign' it to him.

Adding Christian, if he have the time to post a comment when it's up.

Kind regards,
Joren

Hi Christian, is there any news already? I'm missing my every day bug triage run. ;)
Comment 5 Christian Lohmaier 2013-10-28 10:30:28 UTC 
expect the daily builds to be available later this week.

Christian: Kudos to you & hanks so much! I'm super happy to announce OS X nightly builds are back in working state: http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/MacOSX-x86@48-TDF/

RESOLVED FIXED.

First bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71321 has already been verified and triaged :)

Feels good to be back up and running.
