I would like to set these up<br> to run every night, but I don't think I'll be able to keep up with the<br> output from this, i.e. fixing the help patches that crash and at the<br> same manage getting this Pd-extended 0.41 release finished. So I want<br> to see if there is anyone willing to handle this whole process.<br> <br> I think it will make Pd much more reliable if we can track down the<br> little errors in help patches that can cause crashes. As far as I am<br> concerned it can be managed how ever anyone wants to do it. I have<br> these basic scripts ready to go, but they could easily be replaced<br> with something else, if anyone else wants to do that.<br> <br> I think this could then be expanded into a broader testing framework.<br> <br> .hc<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br> <br> 'You people have such restrictive dress for women,’ she said, hobbling<br> away in three inch heels and panty hose to finish out another pink-<br> collar temp pool day. - “Hijab Scene #2", by Mohja Kahf<br> <br> <br> <br> _______________________________________________<br> <a href="mailto:Pd-list@iem.at">Pd-list@iem.at</a> mailing list<br> UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> <a href="http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list" target="_blank">http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list</a><br> </blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>-----<br>------------<br> ---- -----<br>---- -------- - ------<br><a href="http://perhapsidid.wordpress.com">http://perhapsidid.wordpress.com</a><br><a href="http://myspace.com/kyleklipowicz">http://myspace.com/kyleklipowicz</a><br> </div></blockquote></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><div>----------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><div> <a href="http://at.or.at/hans/">http://at.or.at/hans/</a></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></span></span> </div><br></body></html>
