Nice. Is there any reason for not running this as part of the
release process in GUB and having it available next to
http://lilypond.org/test/
Greetings, Jan
Quite a few, really. Mainly, it's written in C# on windows, so it couldn't
actually be run as part of GUB. I run it on my desktop - it takes about
100% CPU (4 cores) for about 20-30 minutes, so it's fairly intrusive while
it's running. Because it takes so much CPU, the fans run at high
continuously. Once it's run, I've got another prog (C#, windows) I run to
create the web page. It also means you have to grab a copy of every
version of Lilypond and download the source tarball for the regtests. You
then need to step through all the different regtests and comment to make it
worthwhile. If anyone wants to do it, I'd be happy to provide the programs.
It _could_ be done in a VM on the GUB machine but I'd have to set that up.
Alternatively, I was wondering if something similar could be done as part of
our make suite using something like md5 checksums or similar - you could
checksum the PNG and then create a "diffs" PNG for any that differ?
