Well, it seems a lot of darcs developers are on Debian or a Debian-based system. Do you think you could provide instructions on how to get our hands on the relevant perl libraries (i.e. what packages to install via apt, and what via cpan?) > Does anyone have an opinion on the proposed course of action (rm -r > tests/lib)? Not sure. One difference between the functional tests (sh/perl) and the unit tests (quickcheck) is a really low barrier to entry is vital to the functional tests. Perhaps this calls for a radical shellification of the perl tests, getting rid of the Perl suite entirely (this may mean, for example, replacing some of the fancier tests with Haskell) -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
