Not anywhere I know of, and it may be something specific to pointyhat as I see no mention of it in Mk/*. I have seen similar behavior in a tinderbox so I'm guessing it's specific to those environments. > In particular, running tests of what duration would be considered > appropriate?

If the tests are not mandatory I'd suggest wrapping the regression-test stuff in a check for MAINTAINER_MODE being defined. This way you, or anyone else who wants to, can run the regression tests but pointyhat won't pick them up. -- WXS _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
