Below are just a bunch of ideas, I would like to get input on this topic.

We need automation for building and testing the following:

  • multiple platforms (see below)
  • using multiple toolchains (GCC, Clang)
  • both X and Wayland where appropriate

The test results could be presented using a web interface. Development commits would be submitted to a separate branch and the CI system would merge it into master once all the tests have passed.

The reason why I would like to have testing with so many variables is that conforming only with generally accepted standards and not with specific quirks of a specific platform is preferable imo, also building for multiple hardware platforms is supposedly good for unveiling bugs.

If we cannot figure out a good way to spin up VMs/QEMU emulators for testing, I can provide a big endian system using real hardware, though spinning up VMs when needed is generally preferable.
