There is a bunch of things we don't test in a way that shows up
obviously, if at all. I'm thinking of making a buildfarm enhancement
that will allow performance of optional steps with some extra timing and
branch params. Obvious candidates include building the docs, looking for
typedefs, and benchmark runs as per Greg's post yesterday. The extra
config would look something like:
optional_steps => { find_typedefs => { branches => ['HEAD'], min_hours_since => 23 }, benchmark =>
{dow=> [0,2], min_hour => 3, max_hour => 6 }, build_docs => {min_hours_since => 72}, },
Adding a docs build to the buildfarm would at least show up errors like
the one you found pretty quickly. It's going to have to be optional,
though, as by no means does everyone have the required toolset installed.
