where is the problem? (I know I asked this since months and do not get
any detailed answer) :-(
You are correct with this. And I was just going to get builds from the
buildbots to do some testruns. And here is the first problem:
http://termite.go-oo.org/buildbot/builders/Win-XP2/builds/701
The build failed! This is for a regular OOO310_m1 build which should never fail in a somewhat "clean" environment.
Is this really the answer to Thorstens older question? I guess not. And
also to Mechtilde's initial question, which Stephan posted here, it is
not the answer because there the issue of differences in functionality
was raised. With a failed build you get no functionality at all.
From the perspective of a QA member, who wants to create a build that
he can test, a failed build certainly is more than annoying. In a
previous mail Gregor asked for the different tasks BuildBots were meant
to work on. IMO the focus up to now was more on testing the builds for
many different platforms and early find and fix build problems for these
platforms. They currently perhaps have more a developer focus and not a
QA focus. So that you stumble over a build problem on a BuildBot does
not mean that the BuildBot system is broken, it might as well mean that
the current BuildBots are more useful for developers than for QA means.
But indeed we should think about adding that QA focus and installing
some BuildBots that are as close as possible to the Hamburg RE
environment where the milestone builds take place, so that the BuildBots
can create builds with a higher reliabiliy.
I'll try to get at least some linux builds:
http://termite.go-oo.org/buildbot/builders/Ubuntu-7.10-i386/builds/661
Maybe I can provide a set of test results (diffed to a sun build) - but as said
.. this might take some weeks.
IMO that would be very useful. We should ensure that we not spend time
and resources into adding BuildBots with an environment close to the
Hamburg RE one and later find out that all was wasted because the real
problems were e.g. different Windows Managers of the test machines or
whatever.

Jörg
