Could I tag something related onto this? The "buildbot" package seems worth exploring to do multiple routine builds from the source code management system (ours is mercurial) on a variety of systems and environments, and to attibute new warnings and errors to particular updates. And I think it would be possible for lots of us as individuals, with worldwide distribution, to run slaves for such a thing. As you'll have gathered, this is primarily about building, rather than running. But it does (if I read it correctly) include the useful build-time "problem X caused by update Y" functionality. -- : David Lee I.T.
