Hello,
recent discussion on the list ignited my interest again. Francois has a very nice page http://fgouget.free.fr/wine/tests-en.shtml, let's try to make better use of it!
1. The precompiled binaries offered here would mean a great help, were they updated regularly.
2. Maybe better, a framework could be developed which would run all the tests, pack the results up and send it back to Francois for easy integration into his page.
3. The table on the page is too big for convenient use. I do not know about much structure to see; maybe a table is not even needed. Just version, date of test, if it is up to date with the binaries on the page, and a list of failing tests as links to the error messages would be enough. If it is not, we can still embed it into the giant API database at http://24.229.94.2 (why is it not linked from WineHQ?) and have a general SQL interface! :) Hmm, some diffing capabilities might be useful indeed...
4. We could recruit people with access to the different platforms and send them mails asking for a rerun whenever the new tests are compiled. Or advertise it on the devel list only...
What do you think? I am even willing to do some of the above, except for the build, as I have no constant access to Windows machines. Feri.
