Coming Soon: A 10.5 Camino Tinderbox

Since the release of Mac OS X 10.5, a lot of work has been done to get Camino building on that platform in a variety of configurations. Many Camino developers have already worked their way to 10.5 and definitely appreciate the work. In spite of this work, it’s often hard to know if the build will break on 10.5 without a tinderbox dedicated to running that platform.

One part of Mozilla’s evangelism team focuses on providing resources to the Mozilla community, including projects like Camino, Sunbird/Lightning, and SeaMonkey. (This is sometimes called the Community Giving and Empowerment Program.)

A little over a month ago, I approached the evangelism team and they’ve graciously provided a Mac mini running Mac OS X 10.5 for use as a Camino tinderbox. (The process actually went a lot faster than that, I’m just bad at blogging.) It’s still being set up, but soon you’ll see a new box reporting the build status of Camino on 10.5.

Thanks again to the evangelism team for providing this box and to the IT team for getting it installed in place for us!
