DAST Week 8+9 update
Just a short update on what I'm working on right now
1. LAMP config - each build script derived from the base site-configure script can specify server config directives - I'm using the Pear::Config (http://pear.php.net/package/Config/) for writing and reading from the Apache conf, MySQL and PHP configuration files
2. Auto testing - I've got the SimpleTest task in Phing working and I can now run tests derived from UnitTestCase right inside a build file. I use SimpleTest both during DAST development and as a target inside build files. So I'm taking the 12 tests from the simpletest modules and using them as the initial test-suite for the site-test script,
3. To jump-start people like Victor Kane and others who want to use build scripts for their distro, I'm going to write an annotated build script for an existing distro which will illustrate the different concepts in DAST/Phing, like where build scripts stop and installation profiles start.
I hope to finish the configuration code by tomorrow (Monday) evening and then the testing and annotated example by Wednesday.
