[Seaside-dev] [Seaside] Build Process

[Avi Shefi]

Functional tests cannot be automated because they are output-driven. One
could test them using Selenium or WebTester, however things like HTML5
functional tests are not possible because they rely on browsers
implementations.

Regarding local files - it's not what bothers me. I can live with local
files, even though I believe that dangling files are a recipe for
information loss. Here are two key points which derive from this:
 - Why not create a configuration for the Hudson build server to fetch
specific Monticello packages, by versions? This would eliminate the need to
not commit to Monticello while building a version.
 - How can we automate the process of testing Seaside via the different
platforms? If we have a uniform build process, maybe this can encourage
other dialects to maintain their ports to Seaside?
 - Is the OneClick distribution automated, or is it built manually?

We can make the build process less involved.

Avi.
