Sure, except for the known Maxima timeout which you fixed. I do have to set SAGE_TIMEOUT_LONG to pass the very longest ones, but it works. I haven't done it much lately because I've been busy building (pre)alphas and doing more than one thing is a bad idea, but certainly within the last few months, and I would regularly do so when Minh was still updating the "Build Farm" wiki pages (which I still think were useful, but probably not enough to spend as much time on them). >From "About this Mac": Processor 700 MHz PowerPC G4 Memory 512 MB SDRAM Not having to build ATLAS helps, of course. But I've never had memory problems with tests, just the timeouts and occasional segfaults, which have always ended up being fixed. :) - 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
