Don't the RPM building guys (Hi, Devrim!) also run the tests on an installed version of the RPMs? Should be easy enough to automate something like that, no? Though there obviously has to be some point where to stop - should we test both install and upgrade? > The other side of things if that we will need to provide for a debian > repository with support for at least lenny and squeeze and sid, and i386 > and amd64. Maybe some more. We will need some build environments here. I think i386 and amd64 are enough, really. We could add more later if necessary, but i don't think we need to. I assume this can be easily virtualized - e.g. having one VM for each version and just boot it up, update all dependencis, build, and shut down? in fact, shouldn't there be tools around already that do this automated? > Anybody thinking we should somehow include ubuntu in the mix? If yes, > which versions? Yes, since according to a comment somewhere the same issue will bubble into ubuntu soon. At this point, definitely 8.04 and 10.04, and probably 10.10. If things can be easily automated, it would be great if we could do *all* supported ubuntu, but doing LTS and the latest one or two non-LTS releases. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
