best way to synchronize mq patches from a master repo as mq patches to a set of mercurial clones

[Dorin Ioan Marinca]

Hi,

I have to run a dozen of different build tests on a code base maintained in
a mercurial repository. I don't want to run serially these tests on same
repository because they modify a set of common files and I want to run them
in parallel on different machines. Also, after all tests are run I want to
have access to latest test results from those test work areas. Currently I'm
cloning the master repository a dozen of times and run in each clone one
different test. Before each test execution I do a pull/update/purge
preparation sequence in order to start the test on latest clean state.
That's good for me.

I'm also preparing new changes using mq extension that I would test on all
clones as above before committing them. For testing some ready candidate mq
patches I want somehow to deploy/synchronize them to be available in test
clones and apply those ready for testing using some guard before running the
test.

Did anybody do this synchronization before? What's the most simple way to do
it? Do I need to have versioned mq patches for that?

Thanks in advance,
Dorin
