That is good but we will be building from a branch when it's time to prepare the binaries. Or do we first prepare the binaries then branch?
They should be built from a branch.
Any idea how I access and run the auto tester from my machine? I've tried contacting Brad Anderson but no response. Maybe I had the wrong email address.
No, you can try here as well: http://forum.dlang.org/group/dmd-internals. Brad usually post there when something happens with the auto tester.
This is the script I use to build DMD. It currently assumes there is a file (VERSION) in the current folder containing an existing branch tag (2.064, 2.064.2, etc...), retrieves the relevant repositories (DMD, PHOBOS, DRUNTIME and TOOLS), builds them, and produces a gz2 and dmg file in the $HOME directory. It is very brittle so any suggestions to make it more usable would be appreciated. The end goal is to run it as the last step in the auto tester which will eliminate more than half of the commands it currently contains.
Have you seen this: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/pull/24 Also we already have a script that creates an installer for Mac OS X: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/tree/master/osx Better to use what we already have. -- /Jacob Carlborg
