Re: [HACKERS] testing more than one configuration on a single build machine

I mean with or without debug, with or without thread-safety etc. This isn't really the place to ask about running buildfarm - it has its own mailing list to which you should have been subscribed. A single animal really shouldn't run multiple configurations, because it makes their history much less valuable. If you want to run multiple configurations you should register multiple buildfarm members. There is already support for running several animals on a single host/repo and this will be improved in a release that I will be preparing RSN. cheers andrew ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

Do you mean this? http://lists.pgfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/pgbuildfarm-members I could not find it mentioned in the instructions.

That seems to be too much of hassle to register 2^12 = 4096 animals.It is probably not useful either to test all the permutations of possible configurations. Is there a recommendation which set of configuration might be more important in finding problems?
