[PATCH 3/3] new: don't allow new tests in group 'other'

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx>

The 'other' group is vaguely defined at best -- other than what?  It's
not clear what tests belong in this group, and it has become a dumping
ground for random stuff that are classified in other groups.  Don't let
people create new other group tests.
