What kind of computers would we need to do these tests?
I have some spare resources for one or two VPS.
I have no idea how many are need to run tests on all branches.
Brad would know this better.
What usually is a problem is Mac OS X. Since you're only
allowed to run it on Apple computers (if you want to follow the
EULA) and Mac users is a minority here.
Perhaps others do too.
People have already donated computers/shells to run the test
suite as we do now.
I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to start using Travis
CI. Currently it only supports Linux but they're working on
adding Mac OS X and Windows.
If people aren't fussy about the EULA (which is apparently not
valid in the EU anyway) then I could probably set up os x on a
machine at university that could be left on indefinitely as a
test machine. I wouldn't be able to do anything on that until
mid-january though.
