If you're not interested in making it into a live test, it's in the wrong place. You might as well complain that you put C code under doc/src/sgml/ and it didn't get compiled. One idea is to put "check: all" into its makefile, if there's no prospect of check doing something more than that. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
