We've already had this discussion before [1] and there is no=20 one-size-fits-all solution for tagging tests. Ryan's plan only proposes to enable/disable tests based on whether they=20 can run inside a sandbox. That much is doable. Trying to quantify the=20 time a test suite will take to complete is impossible : different=20 arches, vastly different CPU clock speeds, same for HDDs sizes and=20 speeds, ... is impossible. Basically, it boils down to "if you're running FEATURES=3Dtest, you shoul= d=20 know what you're doing". +1 on Ryan's idea R=C3=A9mi [1] http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_145157.xml --=20 gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
