Continuous builds of GMP, MPFR, and MPC

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello multi-precision hackers,  ;-)

I’ve added continuous builds of GMP, MPFR, and MPC on the Hydra build
farm at TU Delft:

  http://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/gnu/gmp-default
  http://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/gnu/gmp-5-0
  http://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/gnu/mpfr-trunk
  http://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/gnu/mpc-trunk

See <http://www.gnu.org/software/devel.html#Hydra> for more information
on the use of Hydra for GNU.

Each package has several “jobs”:

  - ‘tarball’, which does ‘make dist’.  The latest tarball is accessible
    at <http://hydra.nixos.org/job/gnu/gmp-default/tarball/latest> (and
    similar URLs.)

  - ‘build’ does ‘make && make check’.

  - ‘coverage’ does the same, but with ‘gcc --coverage’.  The coverage
    data is then fed to LCOV and the resulting HTML pages can be browsed
    on-line—e.g., from
    <http://hydra.nixos.org/job/gnu/gmp-default/coverage/latest>.

  - ‘xbuild_gnu’ is a cross build to the GNU operating system (aka. GNU/Hurd.)

MPFR takes the latest build of the ‘default’ branch of GMP as its input.
Likewise, MPC takes the latest build of both GMP and MPFR as its inputs.
Thus, integration problems among the libraries should be caught as soon
as they’re committed.

Currently ‘make check’ fails for both MPFR and MPC, presumably because
data files used by the test suite are missing from ‘EXTRA_DIST’.

Email notification can be enabled, if you want; that would send you a
mail anytime one of the jobs changes statues–e.g., from SUCCEEDED to
FAILED.

Please let me and address@hidden know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
