Bug ID: 39927 Summary: Update the build VM Product: Wine-Testbot Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: fgouget@codeweavers.com Distribution: ---
The current build VM is based on Debian 7.0 which is pretty old. It would be nice to upgrade it to Debian 8.0.
* This might solve some issues with the VM sometimes going dead after a Reconfig job. See: https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2016-January/111059.html
* This would also get us a newer MinGW compiler. This would get us newer headers, in particular for GetConsoleScreenBufferInfoEx(). Note however that since this is a Vista+ API and the tests must still run on Windows XP it means that specific API would still have to be loaded dynamically in order for the test to be accepted in Wine. But it would make things easier for quick / preliminary tests. See: https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2015-December/110942.html
