Hi,
Hi Daniel,
I know I'm new and should not be to loud. ;-) But I had a idea which I would like to propose. I hope you'll not catch it wrong..
It's always good to hear new ideas.
The prt-check script I wanna write should check the availability of each port which has set the (new) tag "Check" to on and write warning mails to its maintainer if something goes wrong. So, the maintainer could decide if he/she gets warnings when something goes wrong with its port or not.
What do you mean by 'availability'? Would the script only check for availability of source() files, or try to build the port? In both cases, I'd prefer not to add another tag to Pkgfile, I suggest an (independent) external list or something similar. Or, better again, the script could periodically check all ports and submit problems to the maintainers who want to be contacted, and eventually publish a html report somewhere. These weeks I'm trying to collect my little spare time to setup a machine that would periodically build all ports in clc/contrib and log the results (see previous posts) in clc-devel. Drop me a mail if you'd like to contribute. (currently looking for good ideas to reduce processing time)
This is just an idea and I would propose to write it in python.
that's a must :-)
Cheers, Daniel
