You could also make use of the work just committed for --tags to not run check scripts we don't care about, since we know from the metadata which tags are actually being checked. (Although I'm a little nervous about that, since we get a lot of mileage right now out of unintentional tests in the existing test suite.) -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
