I've created a MacPorts installer, which makes me a copy of the test suite minus all the tests. I found a few problems doing this: 1. The build would have been easier if the Makefile supported 'make install'. 2. It would be nice to be able to specify a group to use. Normally I run exim under group 'mail', so I had to create the group 'exim'. 3. Having removed all the tests, I found that runtests fails if there is no test '0000'. I had been hoping to avoid creating name conflicts. 4. I'm using Exim with spamc and spamd using a unix socket. runtests couldn't find spamd. 5. To avoid name conflicts, it would be nice to have a reserved range of test numbers, perhaps starting at 10,000. I've decided to use 6xxx for my MX config and 7xxx for my MSA config. 6. It would be nice to be able to configure a default binary to use. I wasn't able to figure out where runtests is looking for the binary - I assumed it was looking for ../exim/bin/exim 7. I'll usually want to run my tests all on the same config file, so it would be easier to specify a default config file. Otherwise, I can just create tons of links, I suppose. -- Ian Eiloart IT Services, University of Sussex -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
