Hello,
I'm a bit confused as to how the DMD buildbot is supposed to
work: it seems like 50% of the time (ballparked from the first
15 or so pull requests), the buildbot just doesn't report
failures or successes. This bugs (heh) me a little bit because
there are tons of months old pull requests just waiting in the
pipeline, stuck at "Determining merge status". I don't know if
this is part of the review process or caused by the yellow
status, but for instance I've opened up a bug report a week or
so prior:
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=10113
and a few days afterwards, a pull request was submitted:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/2080
which, turns out, was more or less a dup of another pull
request, submitted 6 months ago:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/1358
I'll see if I can't give you a stab at an explanation. Note
that I did not write the Auto-Tester, that is the work of Brad
Anderson. Here are some facts about the AT as I understand them:
I wish I could take credit for that. It's the work of the
awesome Brad Roberts though.
