-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Regarding gentoolkit/trunk/src/equery/tests
I discovered all the test kit that's in equery, and have been refactoring 'em. They're written in bash, not python, so they're a candidate for some kind of python unit testing. Right now, however, that's not a priority for me, so I'm just making the bash cleaner and hopefully faster and more maintainable. I think it'll be helpful as we refactor. The question is, how maintainable are the "help" tests? These are tests that try to confirm that the --help output of each module is correct. I think it might be more work than it's worth to try to maintain those... Thoughts? - -Michael Douglas Anderson wrote: | Hi, I'm interesting in tinkering with equery and doing some | refactorization in my spare time.
