Howdy BSD/Solaris/OS X'ers,

A lot of progress has been made fixing the conformance tests for Wine,
but unfortunately, most of this progress has only been made on the
Linux end. Most developers are using some form of Linux, so
BSD/Solaris/OS X haven't seen their pass rate increase. But you can
help!

For more info, see:
http://wiki.winehq.org/ConformanceTests

But for the short version:
1. Be sure you're using the latest git
2. Download http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/users/paulm/WRT/CrossBuilt/winetest-latest.exe
3. Run it in a clean WINEPREFIX.
4. Be sure to use an appropriate label. For example, I use:
aenglish-pc-bsd7 or aenglish-opensolaris.


Thank you for this information. I have several tests to run, and one of them is for the PowerPC release of OpenOffice.org 3.0. Unfortunately, I tripped over the power cord to my PowerBook G4 and may have broken the
power plug connection to the main board.  That will be an expensive
repair. Alexandre has been quite busy lately and I don't have time to
do a daily GIT build here of Darwine.

I'm trying to put together a quick script that will automatically grab the latest git sources and run the tests. Just have a two questions.

One question is about winetest.exe itself - Is there any way to have it automatically fill in the Tag nam along the lines of "wine winetest /tag tagGoesHere"?

The other question isn't related to wine or winetest perse, but I'm trying to make the script generic so anyone can use it so i've got an "if the user has git, do blah, else use cvs" section. (I'm on OS X and know all Xcode installs come with cvs, so figured it couldn't hurt to add in) Only problem here is that I'm not sure how (or if its possible) to have it pass the password in automatically from the script and log in.

Or should i just skip this part and echo something along the lines of "Please install git from $gitWebsite" for whatever reason (cvs isn't updated as often as git or something, not worth the time, etc)?

Thanks,

Whoops, one more question as well - is there an option to have it automatically submit tests? If i can get this working, I'd like to set up a launchd job so it runs nightly at 4am while i'm asleep - but if it cant be automated, thats not really an option.

Thanks again,

Zach
