Supposing there are no available servers for automatic testing of all OSes,
we could have a table resuming the testing status for each package and each
version on pear.php.net:
Testing stats for version 0.1:
----------------------
| OS | tested |
------------------
| Linux | yes |
| OSX | yes |
| Solaris | no |
| Windows | no |
---------------------
Who would update this table? any PEAR developer? anyone? members of a PEAR
"testing task force"? why do I try to answer questions with more questions?
who knows...
