Which is why you opened the ticket. The discussion there isn't suggesting we shouldn't clear bugs, simply that there isn't a canonical place for putting this sort of test (not that I'm aware of, perhaps there is). Testing every single installed package could be quite tricky, as likely the packages change in various spkgs over time, but sometimes in subtle ways that an updater of an spkg wouldn't be aware of. Perhaps each interface to something with packages that could conceivably not build (Gap, maybe? Maxima?) could have a separate test_default_packages command which would then just test itself. - kcrisman -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
