Hi,
As a part of weekend exercise, I put together a tiny app for sanity checking rails core patches. It's in infancy stages as it was done very quickly.
What it does :
- Takes url of the patch - Asks which test suites to run - Patch latest edge with the patch supplied, runs the tests, and give you the results * Always applies patch from top level ( -p0 ) * Gives failure even if patch couldn't be applied cleanly ( no hunks success allowed )
This should be quite handy to cleanup old patches and can save some time.
It's accessible at http://rails.corefun.org/ Due to the nature of the app, I'll have to create the account before you can use it ( email me or catch me in irc (lifo) ). I'll make the source public once I make some more internal changes and my friend(rsl) gives me a good design.
Meanwhile, if you fancy checking it out or helping with the app or may be suggest a feature or two, that'll be great.
