Well, the problem is, that a working test suite does not guarantee a working program, as well as a failing test suite doesn't necessarily mean that the program is broken. This doesn't mean that test suites aren't useful (i tend to write lot's of unit tests when I'm programming myself), but I would say that they are targeted at developers, both up- and downstream, not at end users. Thus, considering all arguments i've seen so far, i would highly appreciate it, if various src_test functions in the tree see some love, maybe encouraged due a changed policy, but i don't think that package managers should enable test suites by default. If you want some test action, try sys-devel/autoconf with tests activated with the package manager of your choice ;-) Matthias -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
