Completely true. That's why /I/ do not have the --delete in the rsync at all,
but do the --delete in a --dry-run call and filter the deletes for files I
want to keep.

Just put the thre files /somewhere/ in your $PATH

Why can't they be found? --delete only deletes once *before* smoke starts, and
reports are to be created *after* smoke ends (intermediate smoke results are -
og course - created *during* the smoke)

That'll do too, but it would then be easier to extend your $PATH in smoke.sh
to the location where mktest.pl and mkovz.pl can be found.

Not yet. We're waiting for the Win32 env to fit in.

Dir structure: only one top level dir where the smoke will take place that has
enough disk space to complete

tuits? ;-)

Here's a revised situation.

Changes for 1.02

        1. mkovz.pl accepts smoke folder as second argument, making only
           smoke.sh candidate for editing
        2. Michael's changes from Aug 22
        3. smoke.sh expands PATH with starting location of smoke.sh
        4. added README (just for starters)
        5. added Makefile.PL (not ready for use (yet))
        6. smoke.sh accepts source dir as argument
        7. added ChangeLog
        8. added MANIFEST

Open for comments ;)
