We had/have few macros in Perl for building test subpackages, but it was terrible. The reason was no support in the build system and thus in the upstream. Therefore the tests had tendency to run fine at build-time (sources and binaries in local directory available) but terribly after installation (tests expected files out of source test subdirectory). And upstream was usually hostile against our fixes because there was not use case for the upstream. -- Petr _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
