Is there a way to take advantage of your buildfarm such that I can test CFFI versions before doing a release or before even pushing to the main repository?
Not yet, because I am in the beginning of the project and only starting to see the first results (it's not really a buildfarm, but a small system where anyone may run a simple command, like (load "agent.lisp"), and it runs the tests and submits the results to the central server; so that we will be able to accumulate the statictics; currently this command just runs tests on whatever is the current quicklisp distribution is installed on the system, and I am the only person who runs this command
- I am testing how it works and polishing the corner cases).
The ability for library authors to express a wish to run tests on the recent (not released) version is one of the important future goals. There is no decision yet on how it will be specified, we may discuss it. I will contact you when (hopefully) I ready for this.
Best regards,

This is really good. I wonder if it mightn't be easier to set up a number of VM's under something like VirtualBox in a way which would allow automated testing with simpler intra-platform communications. Can you publish any of your test scripts? I'd like to perform the experiment.
Best regards, Jeff
