It gets fun when the scrollbar doesn't work on 5% of the sites or so; happened to me, because a dependency of a dependency of Chromium was broken. At which point I really hoped I would've enabled tests on them. Can be glad that the fix didn't involve recompiling Chromium... In general it has always worked well after a compile; but, there's every now and then one or another annoying regression, like recent Chromium had some font issues or some random tabs crash some versions ago and ... If a test catches one of these, you can immediately report the problem; if it is left untested, you'll have to do a debugging adventure instead. While I don't run tests myself; the need for them is clear, for those that aim for more production ready systems (eg. university network PCs). --=20 With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : TomWij@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D --Sig_/dEMnZsko0J.y9_pvTQvHb6C Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJThw/+AAoJEPWZc8roOL/QjvAH/i4dYCZL9AhkgGsqTrCDyjA1 uYM1lXvH1XlJt2p10LO9EVt9k+FAxCDsKqDYaxXBwiZTlwFkrk6EYdeDmRujOjwG 41WS0A89LREpxiHHCCgdXbACcGOHzk1VduBWTH3ucUf9CaF8sVS8R0no4Mq13fle fpO8wk9EXxNPZT+93pS0ZOFPoxmSwRV1NmQgvUmz7J8Wp9UnXxW0PmjjXRAbcN/0 r/LAra84ZWmdU1cGeFS9w9HNJyjS656g0/Z42D6FSDd2kJtZoMkoVP1oh8bTg/hk zmwLSju+O1u+6+aMvW1k8Uz14rmMLjEYBif0tLJU4AfldXjZAayvdO1ULLoDZC4= =ktcP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/dEMnZsko0J.y9_pvTQvHb6C--
