[Swig-devel] openSUSE Build Service for linux testing

[William S F. <ws...@fu...>]

Klaus has kindly set up SWIG to build on the openSUSE Build Service - 
https://build.opensuse.org/. It is currently work in progress, but it 
basically runs the make check target on numerous Linux operating 
systems. We currently have it working with a set of various old and new 
versions of SUSE and Redhat. Of particular interest is openSUSE factory, 
which is continually updated with the latestpackages. This offers us an 
opportunity to spot problems with new releases of the numerous target 
languagesand compilers.

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:kwk:swig/swig-raw is the 
best set of builds to monitor. The swig tarball being testedrequires a 
manual update, but we are working on getting it to grab the latest 
fromGithub. At the moment Github triggers a new build but doesn't update 
to the HEAD of master... as I said it is wip! Additional target 
languages can be tested by configuring in the appropriate package and 
ensuring configure correctly detects it. Currently the SUSE operating 
systems are mostlyrunning the main 10 languages and Redhat runs 7 of 
them. The 'check-versions' make target displays the versions being 
tested and you'll find the output in the build logs.

I am particularly grateful as I spend a lot of time just testing SWIG 
and this along with Travis really helps aswe have such a huge matrix of 
versions of compilers and languages to support.
