Dear Swig users and devels: We have been talking with William about an issue that keep concerning us, we are very short of testing resources. Making a release is getting harder and harder since the testing process keeps growing and growing. Most of the swig developing is done using personal laptops, where running the entire test process take hours. And we are not really happy with what we can test right now, we would like to test swig much more, like running the entire test-suite using valgrind, run the entire test-suite using specific swig features (like -directors, -copyctor, -O, etc). And clearly, if you do the math, there is no way we can do that in our laptops. So, we need your help!!!! We need an automatic testing engine where swig can be compiled and tested every night, or at least once a week. The ideal will be also test different architectures, and at least the main swig supported languages: Java, CSharp, perl, python. ruby. tcl. php, etc, and some relevant versions of them. And the question is: Could any loyal swig user/devel out there, from a company and/or university, help us with this testing predicament? Marcelo |

Yes!, something like that would be great, and about the firewall, you mean the problem could be CVS?, well, maybe it can be arranged to leave a night tar ball somewhere to be retrieved using wget or so.
