I have <a href=\"http:\/\/fate.multimedia.cx\/running.html\">posted a new version<\/a> of fate-script.py and its config file, fateconfig.py-example, that includes a few new features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Config file now has a NICE_LEVEL option which, when set to a numeric value, will re-nice the script to a nicer level. This is in consideration to certain testers who are trying to obtain permission to run FATE continuously on shared systems.<\/li>\n<li>Setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH used to be an explicit part of the script. It is now user-configurable (well, it&#8217;s open source, so it&#8217;s always configurable; it&#8217;s just more easily configurable now) through the config file. This was added since Windows targets do not honor LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This is one more step on the path to getting Cygwin\/MinGW configurations into FATE.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Further, I fixed a bug with the timeout killer in the FATE script. Well, &#8220;fix&#8221; is a strong word (&#8220;wrongheaded hack&#8221; is more accurate). But the end result is that FATE will honor the individual test spec timeouts in order to guard against infinite loops that may creep into SVN.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Upgrading FATE&#8217;s options to support a wider range of platforms, and under more diverse circumstances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[101],"tags":[108],"class_list":["post-757","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fate-server","tag-fate"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=757"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/757\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":759,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/757\/revisions\/759"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
