Hi, I just wanted to add one point: I would love to have some sort of continuous integration server. I once configured CruiseControl to build PoDoFo on every SVN commit and run all our unittests and even do some checking for duplicated code using CPD. Compilation and Testing was done on Windows and Linux in paralell to detect flaws on different plattforms.
Unfortunately I do not have any servers to host this in public and I do not
want the servers to be running at my home all the time as I have to pay for
the energy they consume ;) So I run the unit tests for every commit and try
to add new tests for every new feature.
Otherwise I of course do understand Scotts point.
regards,
Dom
