Looking for compiler testers.

Hi all,

I'm looking for some people who want to do some small testing job.
I'm currently applying user patches, bugfixes, ... from you to Testing branch of the SVN repository.
I test if these modifications compile on D5, D7 and D2006. I also check if the testsuite isn't broken in D7 for Mysql database.
If packages have to be modified I try to do so for these compilers as well.
However... sometimes we hear there's a package broken for Lazarus, BCB, D6, D2005.

Who wants to commit himself to this job for the compilers I can't check?
What does it involve? Say, twice a mont you should:
- update you SVN copy from svn testing branch
- rebuild all packages
- if testing suite is (or can be made) available for your platform run the testing suite to see if more error show up than before.
- if possible, compile one of your testing programs with the new version to see if you can still connect to the database of your choice.
- if you can, send a patch to fix eventual problems that are compiler specific. (mainly package files, I think)

I hope you respond well so I can fill out the gaps in following list. Even if somebody else also volunteered, you're welcome to reply to this call.

I can do it for D6 and D2006 (when I will finally install it, damn! The setup just closes in the middle!!!).

And oh - I use MySQL 3.x and 5.x

My be obvious, but anyway: Have you removed old BPLs before recompiling a new version?

Hi,

Yes I can test the package under Linux (FC4) + Kylix 3:
I use Firebird and Postgresql databases.

I am working under MS Windows XP too: D7 / D2005:
Here I use MSSQL, FireBird, PostgerSQL and I am planing to use Oracle 9i and 10g
