I think it is the time for it. Here are my thoughts on this project: o If I am not mistaken, I see can see 2 steps: 1. Creating a small x86 build results database and setting it up. Posting of the results should be easy. May be via mail or web. Better both. 2. Developing an more well-elaborated testing system as the second step. I will call this system SYSTEM II. I think this is a god start. [Next points are related to the 2. step...] o The schema behind SYSTEM II must be very flexibel enough to handle different kinds of test on different plattforms. o The result database and the report of the test results to central repository should be independend of the test framework. It should be possible to change the test suite or to implement tests with different testsuites. o Do we need our own framework for it? o Such a project needs volunteers? o Such a project needs documentation! o Such a project needs a home for its resources? (SourceForge, own, FreeBSD?) o What should be tested? Does it make sense to test the stuff in src/contributed? o What kind of test do we have? functional tests? lasttests? (does some one know the correct english term for this german word?) tests for standard specifications? o Should we / How to integrated hardware dependend tests like fs performance? My notebook will report different results than my PC. o We need a good name! OK, thats all. BYe Oliver -- Oliver Fischer - plexus[AT]snafu[DOT]de [de] Das Internet stammt aus dem letzten Jahrtausend!
