As requested I've created a new mailing list for xfstests development and discussion. Reflecting the fact that the test harness is not really XFS specific anymore, the list is: fstests@vger.kernel.orgIsn't there an "x" missing somewhere?It's intentional and it is "Reflecting the fact that the test harness is not really XFS specific anymore", even though the test suite itself keep the name xfstests. This way it's more obvious to people that this is in fact not xfs specific.Having the name different from the project it is for is stupid. Either rename the test suite, or use the same name for the mailing list.Renaming the test suite is a good option if we can agree on this.
Instead of renaming the test suite, why not just "backronym" it to mean something different? The letter x is used to mean "cross" in many contexts, so "xfstests" could easily mean "cross-filesystem tests" - a name that fits perfectly! Only kind of joking, Calvin. -- Calvin Walton [off-list ref] -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
