[Gluster-devel] Is there a Regression Test cycle exist?

[Geoff Kassel]

Hi,
   I'd also like to put my vote in for (more) regression tests - especially 
scripted/automated tests of the 'make test' variety which the public can use.

   Given recent data integrity issues, this would help to instill confidence 
in GlusterFS releases by allowing users to test a new release build before 
putting it into use.

   It would also allows users of more exotic environments (i.e. kernels with 
PaX or SELinux, Darwin, FreeBSD, etc) to determine exactly where their 
environments cause issues. This would make it much easier for the GlusterFS 
developers to maintain compatibility with these platforms.

Kind regards,

Geoff Kassel.
