Maybe I'm way off here because I do not do any such testing as Giorgos suggests, but how are the developers supposed to supply patches for problems if -CURRENT builds are in fact not built, and build-errors not found? I would think that it would be easier to mirror the tree, and build daily/weekly etc to find build errors than it would be to review the source code line-for-line to find the bugs. > It is better to test and > contribute code. How do you suggest testing without building? I believe that Giorgos is suggesting that *is* what he is doing...building, locating bugs, fixing (contributing/committing code). Could someone with more experience clarify this? This is quite a confusing thread.
