Nope, it's a python product. python-dev even use it too now, see http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/ It certainly goes a long way in getting there.

Yup, it is a bit long to set up but if you have a spare computer where you can set up all environnements where you want to test your different product versions, it is very nice indeed. ___ Zope3-dev mailing list Zope3-dev@zope.org Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

I think buildbot fills this need very well, like http://buildbot.zope.org/ or http://buildbot.nuxeo.org/ Nah, Max is after something different, and I agree with him that it would be great if it could be done automatically, but I suspect it'll best be done by hand... Just 'cos the tests pass doesn't mean it works ;-) One could imagine that unittests and creative use of testbrowser would be a big help. I have product where contacts can be turned into Plone members. In Plone 2.1 a script called validate_registration was removed, and so my product breaks. Now I have people asking what is wrong with with my product. A problem like that would certainly have been caught by functional tests. If the aforementioned compatibility list was available they would at least be able to see the that the current product version is officially incompatible. -- hilsen/regards Max M, Denmark http://www.mxm.dk/ IT's Mad Science ___ Zope3-dev mailing list Zope3-dev@zope.org Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

+1 Max M! I have this problem in a big way. http://zopewiki.org/VersionsMatrix is a manual equivalent. ___ Zope3-dev mailing list Zope3-dev@zope.org Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
