I brought up the subject of an automatic testing/bug-reporting suite on Gnome-Dev the other day, and, according to Havoc Pennington [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tinderbox http://www.mozilla.org/tinderbox.html can be configured to do a lot of the automatic testing that I proposed.
Here is his reply "There's a tool called "Tinderbox" that would do this. It's a good idea. What we would need to set it up would simply be a spare computer (easy) and someone to do quite a bit of work maintaining it (hard). Given that we don't have enough people doing stuff like web site maintenance, though, I wouldn't get your hopes up. Havoc" So what I'm curious about, is what sort of maintenance is necessary, and how the maintenance time grows with the number of projects. If the growth is significantly less than linear (which I suspect it will be) then we could probably find a maintainer, and run all of the projects for Gnome, Debian, RedHat, KDE, etc. When I have more info, I'll everyone know, Tom M.
