Hi All,
I recently started running nightly bacula regression tests and
publishing the results to http://regress.bacula.org/
Whilst setting my environment up I noticed a few areas of the regression
testing documentation that seem to need a few tweaks. Attached are 3 git
patches that document what I needed to do to get the regression running
in my environment. I hope these are helpful. Note I haven't been able to
test the documentation build and hopefully my tex/latex skills are not
too rusty.
For reference I'm regression testing sqlite3, mysql and postgresql on
Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64. I also run Bacula in production on a couple of
Debian sparc and arm machines too. I'll see if I can run tests against
those at somepoint in the future but I probably will not be able to run
those on a daily basis.
Regards
Richard
P.S. I've got another issue with one of the postgresql scripts but I'll
follow that up in another thread.
