the test should cover wide range of distributions. Patch submitters run testsuite on their own box, just duplicating the submitters work is not useful, the goal is to test more thoroughly. Proofs why thorough testing is needed just From the top of my head: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-04/msg01062.html - regression only on Fedora 15+16 (not on 17+) http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-04/msg01061.html - regression only on CentOS-6 (not on CentOS-5 nor Fedoras) http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-04/msg00500.html - failing new test only on Kubuntu Just x86_64 also is not enough: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-04/msg00896.html - crash only on i686 hosts But my current testing on x86* arches also is enough: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-01/msg00168.html - build regression on s390x-linux-gnu So I believe there should be some sort of virtualization (I use only mock now) as I doubt there is enough hardware boxes each with different OS to cover all the most popular distros. Then also if it runs only daily (and not per commit) there is the manual work of bisecting each regression / failing new testcase by hand.
