No, I won't do that. 1) When I test something, I want to test the build infrastructure with it. Therefore I take a tarball with 'configure' file as input. 2) You have to understand that it takes time to run tests on dozens of machines, for 65 ABIs, and review the results. I am not the only person who can run these tests: - The test suite is at a public place.[1] - Many of the platforms are available to anyone, through QEMU emulation.[2] But if you provide a (release or prerelease) tarball and I see signs that some of the bugs might be fixed, I might find the time to verify that these bug are indeed fixed. > could these new tests added to the libffi testsuite itself? If you can accommodate a GPLed testsuite in the MIT/BSD-licensed libffi, you can do that already now. Otherwise, I can ask my collaborator if it would be ok with him to relicense this testsuite under the MIT/BSD license used by libffi.
