PQM serializes changesets so that they must apply cleanly with no conflicts, and pass the entire test suite.
What platform would it run the test suite on? Presumably the same one I tested on before I submitted the patch :-).
I think we'd just have to pick one. It would probably be a *nix based
system.
I think this works if you're a Linux development shop, but perhaps not as well for Python.
It would still solve a problem we have today, which is that the
release branch is very often broken when the time comes to cut a
release. We've had to delay several releases because of red buildbots
or failing tests across multiple platforms. Even having the branch
always releasable on <pick one> Linux would be a big improvement.
