[V3dot10] Status?

[Matthias Berth]

Hi,

I wonder if I / others could help by running automated tests of
different configurations, different subsets of loaded packages etc? It
could look like this:

- I download an image squeak310-testing.image
- when I run the image, it will contact a server and configure itself
to a configuration that should be tested (e.g. load packages A, B, C
from the universe)
- then it runs unit tests and reports the result to the server
- then it runs some smoke tests (e,g, for seaside: start the server,
try to download a page), and reports
- crashes are noticed by the server using timeouts

That way a lot of configurations could be tested by volunteers who
would not have to do much beyond downloading the image and pressing a
GO button.

The meta-information about a package (which unit tests to run, doits
for smoke tests) could be put on a wiki page of the squeakmap entry.
(I know this is insecure, it should  be a trusted page somewhere.)

Cheers

Matthias
