Re: designing a test suite for multiple implementations

There's nothing technical stopping the Perl 6 tests being on svn.perl.org, but in a different svn repository from the current repositories, is there?

Well, technically yes, except that SVK doesn't support svn:external yet.

Setting a svn:external property in the right place on both Parrot and Pugs would mean that both could check out the same testsuite, and both could

commit back to it.

That's assuming that the new repo, say, http://svn.perl.org/ perl6tests/, can

give out commit permissions to parrot and pugs committers, yes.

But as Jerry's initial motivation was moving Perl 6 tests to a more official location, and that http://svn.perl.org/perl6/ is the official repo for the Perl 6 design documents, I wonder what's the advantage of hosting the tests

in a separate repository.  Can you elaborate on that?

Thanks,
Audrey
