Kind people,
Lately (past 3 days or so, but I don't know exactly how far back this
goes), I've been getting some regression test failures for geometry
with CVS HEAD on OS/X.
We have seen a number of reports recently of things broken some time in the past. As I am currently thinking about what I want to do in the next dev cycle, this might be an opportune time for me to raise again my previous suggestion of a distributed build farm, so we get timely and automated warnings of breakage. I started creating a script to do this, but got sidetracked onto more important things (like Windows stuff, CSV, dollar quoting), but I am prepared to restart the effort if enough people are interested. Essentially, this would involve installation of a perl script to be run from cron (or Windows equivalent - automating the build for Windows might be challenging ...), which would check out code from CVS, run "configure; make check" and then send the results to a central URL. Centrally, we would store the results and have a summary page, with access to full logs if necessary in case of errors.
How we classify the results is also an open question. So far my thoughts are to classify by <Architecture,OS+Version,Compiler+Version>.
Thoughts?
This can be a good model to follow:
