reporter.php has a search field for "description", but which
phase is that for? MPI Install, Test build, or Test run? A
scenario is that Sun will have a home-grown "funclet_files"
funclet set the "description" in the Install phase (e.g., a
label identifying which ISO is being tested). It would be
useful to have one of two things:
* [easier] Have the "description" fields broken out in
reporter by phase. E.g.,
* MPI Install description
* Test build description
* Test run description
Hmm. That makes at least one [potentially] common case difficult: I
used the same description for all my phases, and want to find any
results anywhere that have that description (i.e., I'd have to enter
it 3 times).
* [harder] Be able to have a phase description carry over
to subsequent phases. I think the logic should work like
this: if an MPI Install has a description, then this
description will carry-over to its Test build and Test
runs if another description is not specified in those
post-MPI-Install phases. (Same for Test build.)
Hmm. So test builds have 2 descriptions, and test runs have 3
descriptions?
How do you see this data being used in the reporter -- can you
provide a use-case?
Is this a different way of looking at https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/
mtt/ticket/302?
