I've never like such breakdowns. Even adding only one more state/color can make it a lot easier to interpret a result set. Assume that anything that warns of prerequisitie failure or other build related failures be marked yellow if the tests fail or are not reached (it could still be green if it still passes test). If an actual test fails then its marked red. That would make a big difference in interpreting the results. Even better would be adding two more states so that you can distinguish between prereq-failure, build-failure, test-failure and ok. For instance it irks me that http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/220132 shows up as a fail, id much prefer it showed up as a "build failure". Which would make the fact that there is another passing report carry more weight. cheers, yves -- perl -Mre=debug -e "/just|another|perl|hacker/"
