X-Archives-Salt: 0292c56e-2007-4ef1-b47b-8735353648cc X-Archives-Hash: 1d4d9686d33e2ca0019e3aa3a83a75d9 Sorry if this has been covered before... So I recently got hit by the gcc/pentium4 bug, as described here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=43373 Why this was particularly annoying is that Python (and lots of other progs) include test suites which can catch these sort of things. While this is a non-issue for binary distros, being able to run a test suite ("make test" or whatever) as part of an emerge would be pretty useful. My ebuild experience is somewhat limited (though it doesn't look that hard) though I've done a good bit of work in Python. I'd be willing to help out on such a project, if there's interest. --Pete -- Peter Fein pfein@pobox.com 773-575-0694 -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
