Thanks to Vitor for taking my FATE Python script and modifying it to run an exhaustive series of Valgrind tests. He found and logged a series of issues in the FFmpeg issue tracker with this knowledge, and shared with me his method. It got me to thinking…
Can I now claim that there is a software ecosystem around FATE?
Anyway, once I finally get the infrastructure in place to run less frequent tasks, you can be sure this will be among the jobs.
It might be a stupid idea, but is there any reason not to run the “less frequent tasks” continuously, but nice’d to a very low priority?
I have considered that. However, I still don’t want every machine on the farm to be responsible for reproducing these same less frequent tasks. Especially not something like Doxygen generation.
