You referring to this?

Sounds like a process problem. Noone was responsible.

I don't think that is going to work. It hasn't in the past and I don't see
this paragraph as changing anything. How about some other suggestions:
- someone set up a Win32 box doing an automated build and test. send the
results to svn-breakage@subversion.tigris.org.
- Add some OS specific tests to the test system. This could test things
like the c:\pathnames on Win32. Might need a third N/A outcome on the test
harness for tests that were not tried due to the fact that they're not
relevant on the test system.
This way the Win32 programmers could concentrate on writing win32 regression
tests when things break. If they get broken again then at least everyone
will know. It'll provide faster feedback to the svn developers if they
break something on Win32.
So, who wants to volunteer to run the Win32 auto-build system? (Can't be me
- I don't have win32 box around here. Sorry.)
Later,
\x/ill :-}
