All changes to the sources are committed to the CVS repository as soon as

they're somewhat verified to work. Changes shall be commited as independently

as possible so that individual changes can be easier spotted and tracked

afterwards.

Tagging shall be used extensively, and by the time we release new archives we

should tag the sources with a name similar to the released version number.

Test Suite
|
||||
==========
|
||||
|
||||
During November 2000, a test suite has evolved. It is placed in its own
|
||||
subdirectory directly off the root in the curl archive tree, and it contains
|
||||
a bunch of scripts and a lot of test case data.
|
||||
|
||||
The main test script is runtests.pl that will invoke the two servers
|
||||
httpserver.pl and ftpserver.pl before all the test cases are performed. The
|
||||
test suite currently only runs on unix-like platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
You'll find a complete description of the test case data files in the README
|
||||
file in the test directory.
