Hi Håvard, I'm very much surprised by this. Why didn't you write in the bug report then, saying you've addressed the issue and was searching for a sponsor? I had the impression that nobody cared, you know... And you can't expect everyone to closely monitor mentors. I do not agree that removing all tests is the solution, when only a single one fails. I would happily sponsor your upload, but *not* if it's removing all tests. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
