Hi Dan, Thanks for the note. I had been thinking for a while about trying regression testing and your email got me over the edge to do something.
So followed the link and followed the instructions, which were very clear and helpful, and I have a disk only regression test ongoing on my Arch Linux x86_64 system. Thanks very much. Adolf Belka. Sent from my Desktop Computer On 21/03/2021 14:48, Dan Langille wrote:
Hello Members of project communities often wonder how they can contribute without coding. I have one suggestion: regression testing. More diversity in OS versions is a goal. At present, only FreeBSD is consistently represented. That's not enough. Your OS should be there too.With daily regression testing on a wide variety of operating systems and versions, changes to code which introduce regressions in behavior can be quickly caught. Catching them early is key to getting them fixed. It is not difficult to set up and it run automatically. No special skills required. If you are running Bacula now, this is an easy way for you to contribute to the community. The testing is run as non-root and requires no special privileges. I run my testing under my own login. In my setup, I create a dedicated host (in a FreeBSD jail for this) but that is not required. The resources required are not great.
