The last paragraph states of the git description states: This is the first (small) step in being able to store test results in an external location for archival/data mining purposes. The question I suppose is whether storing the results in an external location is something that should be xfstests' responsibility, or of the test harnesses that call xfstests. I suspect that since there are so many different ways people might want to archive the results, it does make sense for the test harnesses to handle this job, but I wouldn't want to "presume" on anything that the xfstests developers might choose to do.... - Ted _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
