In answer to your question about packaging the regression tests: Once we release version 1.40 Kern is planning on moving from CVS to Subversion and changing the build process from "configure" based to CMake.
At that time we will probably also switch to CMake's regression test framework. It has built-in support for tracking the results of builds and tests. All the information is made available through a web interface. I haven't had time to play with it yet but it look really cool and quite useful. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Josh Fisher Sent: Monday, October 16, 2006 8:27 AM To: Kern Sibbald Cc: bacula-users Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula status Kern Sibbald wrote: > 1.

Standardized regression scripts (if possible) along with a web based form or mailing list for posting the results of those tests would make it easier for users with various hardware/platforms to participate in the testing. > 2.

I take it you have now been in contact with them and they can at least help determine which Swiss structure is better for a structure that is going to own copyrights, yes? I am in total agreement with your reasoning, but the copyright ownership issues frighten me. Being a US citizen, I am conditioned to think of this as a major legal issue requiring legal council. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
