Re: TARBALLS DUE: GNOME 2.12.2 Stable Release

There is a tracker bug for adding DogTail tests to Tinderbox here:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318531

There is also a Gnome CVS module
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/dogtail-tests/

though right now it only has gcalctool and gedit tests in it.  I think
we should try to push module maintainers to write tests. Perhaps we
should make a minimum of tests required at some distant point in the
future.  In any case it would also make a great place for newbies to
start contributing to Gnome.

I'll ask the DogTail team here at RH if they have any more tests they
can contribute.  I'm guessing it will be one of their goals going
forward.
