Hi, I am not entirely convinced here. I agree that false-positives for auto-reject tags are bad and we should keep them to an absolute minimum. However, poking a bit in the jython source package I learned that some of these (if not all) appears to be unit tests. I guess these are not meant to be installed in the binary package. I say we re-assign this to Jython for now. If these tests serve a real purpose at runtime for Jython, we can always make the exception there. ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
