CDash Testing

[Milian Wolff]

Hey all,

Alexander Neundorf just gave me a presentation on CDash and I really like it. 
Of course it's not perfect, yet I think it's definitely the best we can get 
for now.

My first test runs can be seen here:
http://my.cdash.org/index.php?project=KDevplatform

pros:
- KDE will (most probably) use it as well in the future, esp. for kdelibs as 
far as I heard from the Platform_11 sprint
- it's - relatively - easy to implement, even now people can submit stuff via 
"make Experimental" inside kdevplatform.
- only cmake (2.8.3+) as a dependency
- Alexander gave me some scripts to setup continuous and nightly builds, I'll 
polish them and push them somewhere in git
- highly customizable, esp. via scrits like Alexander gave me
- cdash.org - it's free and apparently we (as in KDE) get a full account for 
free

cons:
- our workflow needs some thinking, i.e. dependency between kdevplatform and 
the rest, potentially even i.e. php and kdevplatform & kdevelop-pg-qt
KDE will need some solution here as well though. Furthermore due to the 
scripts being quite simple so far I think it should be possible to adapt them 
to this usecase
- cdash.org - the interface is still somewhat limited, also it's not hosted at 
our site

anyhow, this will need more work from my side until it goes online. And of 
course we need to fix the unit tests first ;-)

bye
