Re: [C] [A21.5R21.4] [PATCH] Fix makeinfo-test and check-temacs in nt/xemacs.mak

SY> IMO, none of the core regression tests should rely on any SY> packages being present. That's right. Tests that require packages should fix up load-path the way packages/package-compile.el does. Adrian's other change is useful in this particular case, but very annoying in the very common case where a very short list of assertions is run over and over again in slightly varying contexts. In general, you really need to run test-harness interactively and get the whole list of PASS/FAIL. I tried a similar patch for a few months and decided not to submit it to xemacs-patches. SY> I've seen other projects that distribute a separate SY> "testsuite" package. Maybe this is something we could look SY> into?
