Maybe maintain an OVL for each release, where "OVL" means "Operating
System
Verification List" ;-)
(The list of Operating System Releases where compilation and selftest
succeeded)
I don't think that's too helpful, since getting people to run OpenLDAP's
own self-tests has never been a problem in my view. It's running
the software with a real-world configuration that never seems to get
reported.
I know Shawn runs a few replication scenarios regularly. It would be
nice to know if we could get others to consider running the release
candidates in their own test or staging systems and what were the
perceived issues to getting that going.
