Re: [Monotone-devel] Re: Testsuite status (SoC)

[Zack Weinberg]

I'd like to throw out another possibility for testsuite improvement:
Kill boost::unit_test; move everything into the Lua testsuite.

This may sound completely crazy, but think about it.  Wouldn't it be
nice if we didn't have to recompile the entire codebase in order to
run the test suite?  The way I envision it working is with a bunch of
extra commands, like the existing fload/fmerge/fdiff, that call into
the code in just the right places.  Ideally, these extra commands
would be defined in a separate .cc file or files and could be excluded
from the installed version of monotone with just a relink.
