Visit it at <a href=\"http:\/\/builds.multimedia.cx\/\">builds.multimedia.cx<\/a>. It&#8217;s a bit sparse right now as it only covers builds for 2 platforms (x86_32 and PowerPC, both on Linux) and only a handful of tests, which are actually pseudo-tests, only logging the filesizes of the &#8216;ffmpeg&#8217;, &#8216;ffplay&#8217;, and &#8216;ffserver&#8217; binaries. Also, you will notice that the testbed makes an effort to keep up with recent SVN builds of gcc.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m hopeful for this new infrastructure; the sky&#8217;s the proverbial limit. In the short term, I will be adding x86_64\/Linux builds. Solaris\/Sparc and Mac OS X builds might be on the way as well. My other high priority right now is to create an administrative web form that will enable me (and hopefully some co-admins) to add and edit test specifications easily. It&#8217;s not ergonomic to do this through the MySQL console. Here are the top test ideas so far:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All of those &#8216;make test&#8217; regression tests&#8211; break those up into individual tests<\/li>\n<li>Type &#8216;ffmpeg -formats&#8217;&#8211; set up tests for each and every one of those individual modules; use the libavformat\/framecrcenc module here<\/li>\n<li>Fetch collections of conformance vectors for various MPEG standards and run through them<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The comments section is open for suggestions. Be ambitious. However, here&#8217;s an algorithmic challenge if you&#8217;re up to it. Look at the <a href=\"http:\/\/builds.multimedia.cx\/test-index.php?stderr=289\">stderr output from this build<\/a> of gcc 2.95.3\/x86_32 that failed. It would be useful to highlight the errors. How do I search the text and find the error so I can highlight them, and also insert HTML anchor links for easy skipping? The best I can think to do is searching for &#8216;***&#8217; to indicate errors and search back somehow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At long last, I have a reasonable &#8212; and much improved &#8212; autobuild\/test infrastructure running for FFmpeg.
