Hi All,
I have run the regression tests and had a couple of failures. One of
those disappeared after re-running the test. The other I have re-run
with debug set and saved the output to a file. I also had a syntax error
from the regression script itself right at the end for the total time
printing.
Do I provide the debug output to this users list or to the devel list or
where? I couldn't find any clue in the regression testing link.
Thanks
Adolf

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.

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.
