One of my current projects is to put a more thorough testing process in place -- mostly because it's been *my* patches which have turned out to be non-portable! For the community version, we currently focus our testing on the platforms listed on http://zmanda.com/downloads.html: RHEL 3-5, FC 3-6, OpenSUSE 10, SLES 9-10, and Windows (cygwin). That testing takes place on releases, *not* on the snapshots. The bug which started this thread was in last night's snapshot. For other platforms, we rely on users to test betas, since the Amanda user community has a much wider array of hardware and configurations than we could *ever* hope to test in-house. I have a few nascent ideas of how we could improve this process, but I would prefer to hear others' suggestions and proposals before I bias the conversation with my thoughts. Dustin P.S. As for hardware -- well, virtualization is a wonderful thing ;) -- Dustin J. Mitchell Storage Software Engineer, Zmanda, Inc. http://www.zmanda.com/
