I appreciate your feedback. The past few months has been an interesting learning experience for the project in terms of release management. The needs of the project are changing, for sure. I can assure you that the desire for more testing is being worked on. Another Digium software developer, Joshua Colp, has recently been working on an automated build farm with virtual machines for all of the different operating systems we support. It already has 64 and 32 bit versions of Linux (glibc and uclibc) and FreeBSD, building both asterisk 1.4 and trunk (development for the next major version). It is still growing, with planned support for Solaris 10 x86/x86-64/sparc, and Mac OSX PPC/Intel. It uses the program, buildbot. It has a web interface and IRC bot that we are already using to control builds and receive updates on build status. Another feature it supports is having it run builds with a custom set of changes. Once things are running smoothly, I would like to start looking into ways we can have it run some automated runtime tests to verify basic functionality. -- Russell Bryant Software Engineer Digium, Inc. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
