That doesn't make rockboxdev.sh "buggy". "buggy" is something completely different. If the system you're trying to run the script on terminates it after a given amount of time it's a limitation of the system you're running it on. It is in no way a problem of rockboxdev.sh. Building the toolchain takes a while. A process requiring some time isn't "buggy" but, depending on what the process does, totally normal and expected behaviour.

Please stop stating such wrong facts.

torne:
Yes; the problem is that the CI system expects build dependencies to either be available in binary form to be installed, or to be able to download and build them in a few seconds. It's a hosted system run by a third party who doesn't want their resources to be wasted compiling gcc from scratch over and over again. :)

If you want to use this system then it's your problem to work out how to create suitable packages for it to use; there is nothing wrong with rockboxdev.sh - it's not intended for this, is all.

rbhawaii:
would any developers be willing to code this?

it runs a cgf file at a predefined hour thats all

instead of giving him so much beef for trying cant one of you just write it?

or tell him exactly where to look so that he can get it done himself much-faster.

do you guys feel all the advice you have given him so far is helping him get this done? i dont
im sorry

wodz:
Look, he decided to use external service we do not support - it is his choice but at the same time he screams that our tool (rockboxdev.sh) designed to cope with our way of building is broken. If he wants to use our tool with external service it is his duty to glue it all together.

Yes. I do.

But, as you've seen, giving advice has absolutely no bearing on whether or not that advice is followed or not. If a decision is made to ignore that advice, what would you have us do? We cannot force anyone to do our will.

The solution isn't to do it for him.
