Ever since we nuked (nearly all of) our spam in the pypy-dev archive

all of our links to articles in the pypy-dev archive have been broken. I'm fixing them now. Right now I am in doc/devel/testdesign.txt, and I have found a dangling ReST reference: after: Command line tool test_all but before: New unit testing framework (not ready yet) There is this thing: _mail: http://codespeak.net/pipermail/pypy-dev/2003q2/000789.html This is a note from Armin saying he likes the Oscon Paper, which doesn't seem to fit there at all. But nothing refers to mail ... does anybody remember writing this, what it was for, and what I should do with it? I also changed the text to reflect the fact that the Standard Object Space is what you get when you don't specify what you are running ... Laura

Sorry cannot help there specifically, apart from noting that most of the rest of testdesign.txt doesn't apply any more, since we are heading for the simpler 'assert'-based scheme. Which reminds me to ask you how ready for PyPy you think the test conversion tool is. If I remember correctly the point still holding us was different: how to actually run app-level tests. I don't remember where we left the question. In fact, pypy/tool/pypyutest.py looks like the solution (which we hacked in the post-EuroPython days) but I don't remember how complete that is. A bientôt, Armin.
