[Gluster-devel] Reducing the time to test patches which doesn't modify code

[Amar Tumballi]

Today, any changes to glusterfs code base (other than 'doc/') triggers the
regression runs when +1 Verified is voted. But we noticed that patches
which are changes in 'extras/' or just updating README file, need not run
regressions.

So, Nigel proposed the idea of a .testignore file (like .gitignore)[1].
Content in which are paths for files to ignore from testing. If a patch has
all the files belonging to this file, then the tests wouldn't be triggered.

Anyone sending patches in future, and the patch needs to add a new file,
see if you need to update .testignore file too.
