Finally, several of the patches committed the last few days have been
fixing minor bugs or platform specific issues with various patches. One
thing that would be really nice is a real patch queue and have the
buildfarm machines occasionally apply one of the patches and try to run
with it. For people that don't have access to all sorts of
architechtures, it would be a great way of getting feedback on the
portability of the patch prior to actual submission to -HEAD.
This would probably be fairly trivial to arrange. There is nothing
magical about the branches we build against on buildfarm - it just
happens to be HEAD and the REL_foo_STABLE branches. They are just names
in a config file.
If I had enough time there are all sorts of things like this I'd love to
set up. A fetchable url that says "try these experimental CVS branches"
or something like that would be great.
