[darcs-users] Automatically running a test suite in a remote repository with push

[Alfonso Acosta]

Hi all,

* The situation:

We have a centralized darcs repository developed by a bunch of people
who add patches with push. Everyone has ssh access to the repository,
so  a "send"-based setting would be less appropiate and much more
complicated.

In order to force running a test suite before a patch is applied, I
have modified the prefs on the server side (set the test preference
accordingly and --test as a default flag for apply).

* The problem:

I would like to run tests automatically when changes are made to the
sources, but I don't tests to be run when changes only affect
documentation or other unrelated stuff.

So, is there a way for a test script to know what parts of the
repository are being modified? or, otherwise, a way to tell push to
force the --no-test in the remote calls to apply?

Thanks in advance,

Alfonso Acosta
