All, I was thinking about the tests that various folks (Konstantin, Mladen, Rainer, etc.) perform and I was wondering if it might be a good idea for everyone to share their techniques for testing that could be automated.
For example, contributing some scripts, etc. to a meta-test framework for things like gpg signature tests, md5 sum tests, checks for ASF references in source files, etc. It's possible that some of those tests may fail in certain environments (e.g. coming from svn instead of downloading the tarball you post) but not in others. I would volunteer to assemble everything into a sort of test suite that we could put into svn and have everyone run against their own local copies in whatever environment they have. It would obviously include things like "ant test" but also whatever automated checks folks have hand-rolled as they have been testing release candidate builds. Anyone who is interested, go ahead and reply to this thread and attach whatever scripts you already have, or even ideas for things that /could/ be automated but you haven't actually done, yet. Thanks, -chris
