Good morning FreeRDP community, I have an idea and I'd like to pace what you guys think about it:
If you've noticed changes on git recently, a lot of it has to do with improvements to the build system. I have bought the Mastering CMake book and have spent some time increasing my CMake skills to be able to do more of what I wanted to automate. At this point, I think it's clear that I want to go all the way to making full usage of the Kitware software process tools: CMake, CTest, CDash, CPack. It takes time to learn, but I have to say the software is really extensible, powerful, and has the potential to solve most of the issues I want to address on the long run. I've already started making heavy usage of CTest for WinPR, I intend to eventually have the current CUnit tests migrated to it. I've recommended the book to anybody who wanted to increase their CMake skills to help. The book is a bit expensive: $59, and there is no ebook version available. There is, however, a bulk price of $40 per book if you order 10 or more. I was thinking that my company, Awake Coding Consulting Inc., could make a bulk order of these books such that we give them away to community members afterwards. This would be the kind of goodies we could afford to give away and that would be useful for the project. Of course, we would send the books to people we believe will make use of it, but the idea is to get more people with good CMake skills to help with the various tasks around it. Eventually I'd like to setup a CDash server that would collect results from tests ran with CTest. I would also like to setup an automated test environment where commits on github trigger test runs on dedicated test machines which then submit results back to a CDash server. Some people on IRC have offered their help for testing, but it's hard to really make good use of what they offer without the proper infrastructure in place. Let me know what you think, Best regards, - Marc-Andre ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
