FYI, travis-ci testing in development, https://github.com/openquery/mariadb-server/blob/travis-ci-10.0/.travis.yml Probably could do something for packaging tests here. Build/test time is limited to 50 mins so its probably too much of a stretch to get packaging and content tests in the same package. Build time is only about 5 mins. -- Daniel Black, Engineer @ Open Query (http://openquery.com.au) Remote expertise & maintenance for MySQL/MariaDB server environments. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~maria-discuss Post to : maria-discuss@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~maria-discuss More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
