Hello Dan,

Thank you for taking the initiative on this.  Yes, there was a brief period when there was no project defined for regression testing (Dart) after the switch from the old server to the new one.  However, it is up and working.  The project is Bacula-7.4. 

I would especially appreciate it if someone could test on OpenBSD, where currently there is a seg fault in the new acl-xattr code.  If all goes well, I will shortly have a fix, but I don't have a system to test it on.

Best regards,
Kern

Regression testing is important. With it, you can ensure that future releases work with your chosen combination of OS and DB.

Setting up regression testing is not difficult.  Automating it is also easy.  It can be done in any environment and DOES NOT require root privs. It can be run as whatever user you choose.

After a short absence, it appears that http://regress.bacula.org is back, although I'd like to see it available over https as well.

I am not sure the regression testing is configured to accept incoming tests yet.  From last night's logs:

My own regression testing covers MySQL 5.5 and 5.6 & PostgreSQL 9.2-9.6 on FreeBSD 10.3.  I could do similar on FreeBSD 11 but ... time.

Anyone else interested in helping out the devs? This involves a little bit of initial work, but the long-term payback is great.  It is a simple way that anyone can contribute to the project.
