I wanted to add a few features and fix a few bugs in the regression test driver, and I ended up re-writing most of it. I'd like to offer it for testing. Features/fixes: * Use one driver script for both standalone test and test against running installation. * Also use only one script for both parallel and serial test schedule, allow adding of other schedules (e.g., running a lot of simple tests all in parallel). * Return useful test summary (x of y tests passed) and exit status, to be run via `make check' (GNU makefile standards) * Add option to ignore some failed tests (e.g., "random") for purposes of the exit status * Add flag for debug mode * Avoid use of `make install prefix=xxx', which can (a) yield the test suite unusable if you overrode specific installation directories, (b) corrupt your files with wrong hard-coded paths. * Feable support for running the test suite outside of the source tree, for binary packages. (incomplete) What I would like to do is to commit it in parallel with the existing infrastructure, and if it works out well we can remove the other stuff before release. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://yi.org/peter-e/
