At some point, I hope we can get a "dash board" setup where the results will be summarized and posted to a web site -- cmake provides such a feature, and there may be other ways of doing it. In moving from OpenSUSE to CentOS I learned that cmake is not part of every Linux distro's packaging, which is a bit of a pain, so I am now holding off converting Bacula's main Makefile system to cmake. However, we might think about putting the regression under cmake ... Concerning whether a system is booted or virtual, I am completely neutral. What counts is the testing of as many distros, architectures, and OSes as possible including doing multiple testing by different people on the same distro/architecture. Any kind of regression testing will help enormously to find errors and build problems, which is very beneficial for the project. It is now almost three weeks since 2.2.0 was release, and I would say that this release has *far* fewer and less serious problems than any prior release. Though we have good programmers :-) I attribute that primarily to the "external" regression and production testing that pulled out a lot of problems that I never saw here.
