<br>
I think this is a nice idea, but needs good thinking. I don't want<br>
just a bunch of examples - all must be automatized and best<br>
included in our daily checks.<br>
<br>
I have pushed the L3 Team to include support for reproducible builds<br>
(SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH) into the l3build suite, and I am now working/thinking<br>
about setting up some environment so that package authors<br>
can upload tests, or we write them. These test would be run against<br>
l3build tester automatically during the nightly rebuild.<br>
<br>
For now I am thinking aobut hte following:<br>
* loading test:<br>
- for every latex package (.sty file) if nothing is extra specified<br>
for testts we try a simple document like:<br>
\documentclass{article}<br>
\usepackage{....}<br>
\begin{document}Hellow Wolrd\end{document}<br>
and make sure that hte generated pdf does not change under S_D_E settings.<br>
- one can override the documentclass, engine, etc etc on a per sty<br>
file<br>
- one can submit more involved tests<br>
* other tests coming (combinations, user supplied)<br>
<br>
Well, that is all in very early stages and if I would have more<br>
time I would have written some code already - maybe during TUG 2016.<br>
Are you coming?<br>
<br>
Maybe intereted people can make a brain storming session during TUG.<br>
<br>
Also, I would prefer a git repository on github/lab or similar.<br>
