Hi everyone,
One of the things I'd like to do is to make dbqp the default test-runner
for Drizzle.
The plan is to do this gradually - make it default, but keep
test-run.pl, then finally remove test-run.pl and related files. You can
read more about dbqp here - http://docs.drizzle.org/testing/dbqp.html
The main thing keeping me from this is that we need at least Python 2.5
to run things. It is not worth the time and frustration to try to make
things run on python 2.4 - 2.4 doesn't even have a unified
try/except/finally for crissakes ; ) This is only a problem on Red Hat,
but I'd like feedback on how to handle it (just flat-out require it,
recommended packages, etc)
My questions are:
1. Does anyone have anything to say about this in general - the
test-runner switch or the 2.5 requirement
2. Should we just flat-out require python 2.5 for using Drizzle?
Eventually, I would like to remove all the perl test-runner stuff,
so people will need to be able to use the python tool
3. How would we do it? Could we just add it to the ppa and whatnot?
4. Can anyone provide any additional information on recommended
packages for Red Hat? I'd like to document this and also see
about updating our Jenkins Red Hat machines to try things out?
Thanks,
Patrick
