> Attached is a build log with the failures. ok. since your position is that tests should work even if u enable them and they cant connect to a display, or that we need to go fine-graining tests just so you can --enable things that you wouldn't understand were they to fail, i've decided to remove all tests from src trees. it seems gentoo (some) users and/or developers are unable to take the hint of "you enabled tests manually yourself - they are never enabled unless you explicitly enable them, then that makes it your problem". you shot yourself in the foot and then ask us why it hurts. we get the build logs that told you the problem (ecore_x_init fails - can't connect to a display somewhere) in the way intended (for developers to run test suites to see if they broke something fundamental while working on code), then that just wastes our time. i'm grumpy because i tried to explain it the short way (on irc) "you enabled tests - they fail. don't enable them. if u cant run them in their expected test env they will fail". that fell on deaf ears, so the tests are summarily removed out of the src trees. if anyone has an issue with it - talk to thomas and/or gentoo developers. this week i replied to his issue twice. once in a trac ticket and again here. the above is here for the benefit of the rest of e devs as to why i just did this. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
