On July 19 we will release Parrot 3.6, a quarterly supported release.
At this point the major problem I see is that, since we lost Smolder
smoke reports for most of two months, we weren't getting poked by test
failure reports on various OSes.
Thanks to Coke++, Smolder is back. But it seems like the overwhelming
majority of reports are being filed from ... NetBSD!
Now it's great that we're PASSing on NetBSD -- but I'll bet that none of
us is actually *developing* on NetBSD. Where are the reports from
Linux, FreeBSD, Darwin and Win32?
Umm, err, umm ... we're in bad shape on Win32. It looks like only
fperrad is submitting smolder reports on that OS, and his latest
(http://smolder.parrot.org/app/projects/report_details/16990 -- 3 days
old now) shows test failures in *10* files -- some of them complete
failures.
So I would like to request that anyone who has a Windows machine get
Parrot building on there, start submitting smoke reports, and start to
help us diagnosing these failures.
Thank you very much.
