Quoting README:
| High Quality
| ============
|
| We will be developing a testsuite for these applications. The goal is
| to have a 100% firm interface so that maintainers can feel free to
| update to the code in CVS at *any* time and know that their
| application will not break. This means that before any change can be
| committed to the repository, a test suite program must be produced
| that exposes the bug for regression testing. All experimental work
| should be done on branches to help promote this.
Asking 'cvs annotate' how long this has been there:
| jbailey 22-Oct-01
$ ls modules/*-tests | wc -w
38
$ ls modules | grep -v -- -tests$ | wc -w
362
A daily build would be useful, but much more so if this ratio were a bit
higher...
FWIW, the check-module script would be more useful, too, if it did not
produce so many false positives:
$ cd modules; ../check-module * 2>&1 | wc -l
165
(I don't even know though how many of those are bogus)
Cheers, and apologies for not being more constructive,
Ralf
