Subject: Testbot proposal
Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2011 09:26:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110310092613.GA1743@host1.jankratochvil.net> (raw)
Hi,
as an acting testbot I would prefer to run a software as the testbot instead.
It should be public so therefore asking here for suggestions, extensions are
welcome for:
http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/BuildBot
It is expected to deploy some existing testbot framework.
Why the testbot is needed:
People do not always run all the possible configuration options combinations:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-02/msg00556.html
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-03/msg00602.html
People do not have all the tooling pre-requisites for full testing available:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-03/msg00609.html
etc.
Unfortunately I do not know what is deployed for GCC. Contrary to GCC the
project GDB is more dependent primarily on GCC but also even on kernel ptrace,
glibc, fpc (Free Pascal Compiler) etc.
Where to run it? There is http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm so maybe it is
sufficient for runs against various GCCs. One cannot do there various OS
virtualizations but I do not expect and find OK this public testbot would
cover all the specific regression test runs I do specifically for Fedora.
Thanks,
Jan
