Hey people, A lot of ebuilds still fail when "test" is in FEATURES.
It's understandable that fixing this is a low priority thing, but what I would like to propose is to either fix the tests or disable them. The latter would be the thing to do for devs who are currently closing bugs about tests with WONTFIX or similar. By keeping tests that fail enabled in one ebuild, perfectly good tests of any other ebuild are rendered useless because it becomes almost impossible to upgrade a system with "test" in FEATURES. If fixing the tests is not WONTFIX but rather something way down on your todo list, I would also recommend disabling the tests in the ebuild. A bug report could be used to track these bugs, but at least it would not bother so many people while it is still unsolved. I'd like to know what you think of this. Thanks, Maurice. -- Maurice van der Pot Gentoo Linux Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gentoo.org Creator of BiteMe! [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kfk4ever.com
