Build out passive compiler service using npm hooks

[rwaldron]

http://blog.npmjs.org/post/145260155635/introducing-hooks-get-notifications-of-npm

Here's what needs to be created:

• a "t2-compiler" npm user
• register hooks on behalf of "t2-compiler" with wombat
  • must watch existing packages for compiled modules.
• a server that handles incoming HTTP POST requests
  • parse payload
  • determine required action (needs compilation? is blacklisted? etc)
  • do cross compilation
  • store compilation result assets on packages host

@rwaldron @reconbot do you have a link to the proof of concept work on the changes feed?

[bmeck]

do we have a list of cross compilation targets?

• arch
• libc impl
• kernel

I have an ancient build server that should be workable

[bmeck]

would probably need to figure out $$ if this is more than minor amounts of modules

[reconbot]

We have hosting and storage available.

if we want to use hooks instead of the changes feed i kind of see the user story like this...
user 🌵 depends or authors compiled package 📦 they want it to be available to tessel 💻

🌵 creates a webhook with wombat hook add 📦 https:// 💻 /build-webhook not-very-secret

on change 💻 gets the 📦 events. if its a new publish or has never been seen we compile all of the versions otherwise just the new version.

@soldair maybe I don't know enough about hooks, but can they compile onto existing/about_to_publish versions?

[soldair]

nothing that cool yet. tessel has a build server i think and will host the binaries on s3. when folks push their code to the tessel, tessel will send the compiled versions to the device

[soldair]

this pattern might be good for xcompiling more kinds of native modules though @bmeck. its more of an opt in rather than compile everything. im not sure whats better.

@soldair taking that convo offline, little out of scope here

[reconbot]

The changefeed still works well for our purposes
