Actually I think they should be, but this is basically a way to get a quickly operational test suite; No messy "need to find AFS" configure issues, because it gets built with OpenAFS for the moment. Everything is exactly where it built earlier in the build process. It (test suite inclusion directly in the OpenAFS tree in such a manner that it directs or is affected by release schedule) shouldn't be considered a long term solution; However, a more codified testing procedure for releases is more or less a necessity for an enterprise product, and at least for the moment provides a way for adoptees and upgraders to get a known quantity. As a bonus it did find at least one bug in the Linux client (which already existed) and tickled 2 others (which also already existed, but in one case provided a much easier way to reproduce) -D _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
