[Bacula-users] contribute to Bacula via cdash

[Dan L. <da...@la...>]

If you've been looking for a way to contribute to the Bacula projecet, 
this is one.

Install cdash and have it publicly available for use by Bacula 
regression testers (like me).

The cdash install of the regression testing hosts allowed users to run 
regression tests using their combination of OS and database. I do this 
for entirely selfish reasons. I want problems created by recent changes 
to my choice of OS and database to be caught and fixed early. I don't 
want a release to come out which is broken for me.  Regression testing 
is very much a set-it-up-and-it-runs project. Is it not a time-sink.

Historically, we have used cdash. That host has died and not been 
replaced. Previous instances of cdash were run by a community member. If 
someone wants to set up a cdash instance, I can easily point my 
regression  testing hosts at it and start uploading my test results 
there.  6 months (they disappeared in early June 2022) is a long time to 
go without adequate regression testing coverage.

Please consider it. I know I'm asking others to do something I could do 
myself. I am already over-committed to existing projects.

Also, consider setting up a regression testing instance. Fire up a small 
VM somewhere.
