As of April 26th 2016, the build machines known as the Slicer factories have two roles:

Continuous integration for Slicer
Nightly packages generation and testing for Slicer application and associated extensions

There are currently two factories (factory.kitware and factory-south.kitware) in charge of both Nightly testing and Nightly generation of packages.

Current scripts to build extensions:

Some extensions are consistently not built
No access to the factory internals
No well described procedure on how factory machine with packaging can be set up
Andriy: Not possible to choose the factory in the extension manager.
- Jc: It is already possible to set the extension server in the settings
Jorge: Community want to help, but nobody know how to
- Jc: Having more build bots doing Nightly test would be great. See Documentation/Nightly/Developers/Tutorials/DashboardSetup for more details.
