Regression testing is important. With it, you can ensure that future releases
work with your chosen combination of OS and DB.
Setting up regression testing is not difficult. Automating it is also easy.
It can be done in any environment and DOES NOT require root privs. It can be
run as whatever user you choose.
After a short absence, it appears that http://regress.bacula.org
<http://regress.bacula.org/> is back, although I'd like to see it available
over https as well.
I am not sure the regression testing is configured to accept incoming tests
yet. From last night's logs:

My own regression testing covers MySQL 5.5 and 5.6 & PostgreSQL 9.2-9.6 on
FreeBSD 10.3. I could do similar on FreeBSD 11 but ... time.
Anyone else interested in helping out the devs? This involves a little bit of
initial work, but the long-term payback is great. It is a simple way that
anyone can contribute to the project.
