Anybody have a problem with setting up the krb5 tree to do all the
testing through one run of dejagnu? I'm getting tired of not getting
applications tested because (for example) the db code couldn't find a
dictionary, or some regexp code in krb5 didn't work right....
Running all the tests from dejagnu, from the top level, would still
let us do the unit tests (read their *.exp files from where they are
now, or write new ones to do "make check" in the right dir). It would
let us still run only one or two tests, if desired.
The main problem I see is people who can't get dejagnu working on
their systems (maybe a more serious problem). According to Michael
Graff, he can't run "make check" on Windoze as it is; it might be more
likely to work with cygwin32, but I expect dejagnu would too. That
leaves the Mac, which I don't know anything about.
Another (probably less serious) problem is getting a merged version of
all the "config/unix.exp" or "config/default.exp" files. I doubt it'd
be a big hassle, but I haven't looked at the admin/libkadm tests yet.
I'm not going to do anything about this soon, but if people are in
agreement with me in principle, I may tackle it later.
