Hi Folks, Reading up the recent blog post “What is Rust 2018” and happened upon this;
“We put in a lot of work to make upgrades painless; for example, we run a tool (called “crater”) before each Rust release that downloads every package on crates.io and attempts to build their code and run their tests.” - https://blog.rust-lang.org/2018/07/27/what-is-rust-2018.html Seems an interesting idea and with Travis and other CI services providing free builds for OSS it doesn’t need to put a heavy financial/operational burden on a single entity. The main benefit for this is for people could get a quick centralised overview of compatibility of various projects and impending releases of Clojure. The main idea would be to have a grid view of the latest Clojure projects and their status against HEAD of Clojure (are snapshots pushed to a maven repo automatically as a result of a commit build?). Travis allows periodic builds so that could be used to trigger verification even when changes haven’t occurred. In terms of initial focus targeting the top-N projects on Github makes the most sense to me. The bit I’m still thinking through is providing some form of dashboard/aggregation without requiring a large investment in changes, infrastructure, etc. Might fit in nicely with something like clojars? Was thinking initially having a Github page with a table of projects and their build badges and talking to maintainers about configuring periodic builds with the latest Clojure snapshot. Thoughts?
