I agree. This patch was in retrospective clearly not ready for a release branch. A lot of people spend time to hot fix a broken build. My root cause analysis boils down to: Developers cannot detect multi-platform (build/run) issues with an appropriate effort (or at all). We already have discussed solutions to this: 1) Enable developers to run the “authoritative” buildslave tests before submitting patches 2) Provide developers tooling to quickly (preferred: locally) run iterations while developing #1 will need some processes & tooling by the current maintainers. #2 will be taken care of with the Vagrant based integration tests. Opinions? Jens
