Barry's original message was addressed to Scott. I was merely pointing out a convention that is more discoverable than Barry's suggestion. I claim this was a constructive comment, not bikeshedding. Yes, I could make this change, but so could you, Barry, or anyone else. I don't think it's productive to lob the "broken fingers" criticism around. It's educational and likely more accurate for the person who wrote a component to maintain the docs for that component and the person making the suggestion might have the 30 seconds at that moment to make a constructive suggestion, but not the 10 minutes to implement it. > where are the current docs for it that we move to this place? gmakefile has this comment. # Tests can be generated by searching # Percent is a wildcard (only one allowed): # make -f gmakefile test search=sys%ex2 # To match internal substrings (matches *ex2*): # make -f gmakefile test searchin=ex2 # Search and searchin can be combined: # make -f gmakefile test search='sys%' searchin=ex2 # For args: # make -f gmakefile test argsearch=cuda # For general glob-style searching using python: # NOTE: uses shell which is possibly slower and is possibly more brittle # make -f gmakefile test pysearch='sys*ex2*'
