Not a knee jerk reaction, just a strong one. One of the key reasons why mandatory tests were not desired was the fact that sometimes much more stuff will be installed than what you'd normally get. Exhibit A: robbat2's message just sent on diradm that normally just needs openldap with USE=3Dminimal, but building for tests requires all of openldap, samba, etc. I'd like to think we aren't in the practice of forcing users to install cruft on their systems. If you need more examples from the last thread, assuming you don't still have local archives, I could scrounge 'em from gmane I suppose, though we're both equally capable of typing in search phrases. The tests subject wasn't brought up that long ago, either. --------------enig9C36579C282878D3FBFBC7E8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGN78d5aFMlhMsVyURAnwHAJ9Hktsh9L46v8VmGL8UOaVc95GKPACfRJbk TC7X6BhZHViyhGQzFJzuw/M= =6LyM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig9C36579C282878D3FBFBC7E8-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
