After applying the patch on your commit machine, is it too difficult
to actually retest before committing? This would catch the broken
commit before it becomes a Tinderbox issue.
Seems to be a QA problem on your part.
yes.. but I can't do a compile from my mac. (my commit machine). The
answer is to be rigorous about how I move the patch from the build
machine to the commit machine.
This is a temporary situation. new infrastructure will let me commit
from my build machine again.
I find having a copy of Parallels (or VMWare) around very useful for
precisely this situation -- it means that even when I have only the Mac
around I can easily do a local test build. The various VM packages
certainly have their limitations, but they're far better than nothing.
It's a PPC
