You absolutely should include the test suite in the distribution tarballs. pkgsrc, as an exmample, and I hope all packaging systems, has a test target as well as build/install/package targets. Thus one can run the tests before using the package, and verify that the code, with the intalled dependencies/compilers/etc. is ok. This is a bigger deal with programs in languages with tricky compilers (e.g. "does gcc X miscompile this code on CPU Foo"). But it's still the right approach always. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
