I do think this would potentially make it slightly harder for people that aren't driver developers to contribute test cases, e.g. for driver bugs they ran into. Perhaps piglit doesn't have enough "outside" contributors to make that a real consideration though. _______________________________________________ Piglit mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/piglit
