The idea discussed in ESC was to allow developers to write tests for bugs, even if they are not able to fix them. We also assumed / hoped it's easier to write a test then fixing a bug. We'll see, if this turns out to be true. Most times this feature is used for test driven development, where you mark tests as expected to fail without breaking the build and when you actually fix the bug you simply remove the XFAIL from the test case. The idea is to prove you wrote a test for your bugfix. _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
