Sure. Some time ago I proposed something like a JSON file, something like test_foo => { "command" : "make -C src/test/blah check", "save_output" : [ "src/test/blah/server.log", "src/test/blah/regress*.log" ] } as I recall, Andrew said that he didn't like JSON very much but that the idea made sense to him. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
