Let's start to properly classify test into categories, like for instance - expected to be run (cheap, no silly deps) - good thing if run (still reasonable wrt resources) (current src_test) - if you are the maintainer or simply curious. (boost, jtreg and friends) ... and improve on how to configure Portage whether to run tests of any given category. --Sig_/.=figrgde/7KJ0dIzRhd1SJ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRgM7TAAoJELjwI6Q8XPdaUcEH/0pCblfBYjacPQussI1Flxkj 95MsiY2mAgKoeyCY2RBeDbgnCmBBF6Fyle1ReI9BU7bij0nWRVSNF9pkYrSKOL0E 59v4a22RnIRD31ck+2hSkomt1jhE11v5cFuu1r4FW3hnpH7H7PMVdkxOFpy8TSoK I6KX/irESheL/LTl2NGOHzBK7zD9BpYOOpIaVlcVShOcHGIWcGpwFYS0D3eNFi5K E0DYtmbyjprEg8iff1cnAJ7aih7O73M6kk23hIpBGf4M2og92hDh++KeTQVnJ0FA CcEWnkMzwwtMewJIl+44UbV/Ew9O9LgIKZG59NWofWYjHy0WZuDUoc0hPo3Vf7Q= =7Bln -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/.=figrgde/7KJ0dIzRhd1SJ--
