It's harder than it sounds to actually get a few useful app tests written. Plus there'll be some work writing up and fixing the bugs it uncovers.
So then do you think it's a worthy proposal to just work on wpkg scripts? I have no problem working on this, and writting up/trying to fix bugs that are uncovered. I just didn't think that by itself it would be good enough to be accepted as a GSoC project.
I think it's enough, especially if you do one or two ahead of time and demonstrate that the process actually works. It helps to have a wine patch under your belt, too.
Arjun Comar is going to propose something similar, but using Buildbot as the point of integration.
I look forward to seeing his proposal. Will he be bring patchwatcher back to life, but in buildbot form?
I think he's starting with just getting a buildbot working, then adding a trybot with a manual upload. Patchwatcher integration would be a plus, but its mailing list watcher is fragile and needs rewriting. (Maybe you could do that little bit.)
Arjun, are you ready to post a proposal? - Dan
