We used to have debian-test, which is now removed from Debian archive. Learning from that experience, there needs to be some kind of policy on tests. Some debian-test scripts had dependency on maintainer machines (like IP address and directory structures), and sometimes it's difficult to make a portable assumption about these, while it is requisite for a test to run. regards, junichi -- Junichi Uekawa, Debian Developer http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/ 183A 70FC 4732 1B87 57A5 CE82 D837 7D4E E81E 55C1
