In the past I have removed tests that access materials on the net (buildd machine do not have net access) and removed some other tests that required specific dataset that are not distributed. I used DEP3 in the patch removing those specific tests to document why I did this. DEP3 will allow you to point exactly to the proper bug report and the reason why this test was removed...for good reasons. 2cts -- Mathieu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
