Following up on the discussion of where source code would be a facet or a separate package (conclusion was separate package)...

Would test cases for a package be expected to be a facet or provided in a separate package?

The use case that is driving this question is MySQL, which has thousands of files that make up test cases that can be used to make sure that your server is installed correctly. In the current SVR4-based packages, there are separate packages (SUNWmysql51test, SUNWmysql5test).

It would seem that the definitive argument for source code (that one might want a different version than the binaries) probably would not apply in this case.

Thanks.
Tom
