How to enable tests only when user ask for them?

In Net::OpenSSH there is a test that will ask for a password. As I've just learned it will time-out after 15 sec, but I think it would be still better to ask the user if they want to run such tests and only run the tests if they have agreed. The question how to do that. Using EUMM: If I am not m

What reports I'd like to see - platform diversity - more people

Hi, this discussion about the quality of the test reports back and forth is a bit too much for me so let me start a separate thread. It's good that there are dedicated people who setup smoke testing but I think what we would need is more diversity both for new and old modules. It's great to get
