It includes primitives for node discovery, raft-based consensus, task scheduling and more. Its main benefits are: * Distributed: SwarmKit uses the Raft Consensus Algorithm in order to coordinate and does not rely on a single point of failure to perform decisions. * Secure: Node communication and membership within a Swarm are secure out of the box. SwarmKit uses mutual TLS for node authentication, role authorization and transport encryption, automating both certificate issuance and rotation. * Simple: SwarmKit is operationally simple and minimizes infrastructure dependencies. It does not need an external database to operate.Overview Machines running SwarmKit can be grouped together in order to form a Swarm, coordinating tasks with each other. signature.asc Description: Message signed with OpenPGP using GPGMail

OK - good point. I wonder if there is any information about how many packages run unit tests? It would be interesting to see the data. I get the impression that more upstream packages have built-in tests that can be run as part of dpkg-buildpackage (e.g Python, Perl, Ruby, Java and Go) but maybe that's just because I've been working in those environments recently.

The switchover to the gcc-5 toolchain was an example and everything was rebuilt at least once during that time.
