I filed bug 26259, "MediaWiki bloated with test suites": https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26259
RobLa asked me to send an e-mail to wikitech-l about this bug. It's my view that checking out MediaWiki from SVN should not include files that most users do not need or want. These test suites seem to fit perfectly within this category.
I have at least two objections :
- I want to be able to commit a bug fix + associated tests in one revision without having to fetch the whole phase3 tree. It is much easier to track and phase3 has many stuff I do not care about.
- Users fetching from SVN are most probably interested in development and will *require* the test suites. Regular user use the tarballs which can be build without the tests suite though.
Can't you just ignore the test suites ?
I do not care about squid support or utf-normalisation. Should they get moved out of trunk as well?
