What is the status of ConTeXt's various test suites?

[Sietse Brouwer <sbbrouwer@gmail.com>]

Hi, all,

There appear to be a number of test suites in existence.

(1) The suite on pragma-ade.com. I suspect this is the one Hans actually uses.
http://www.pragma-ade.com/download-1.htm (click on cont-tst.7z)

(2) The project on foundry.supelec.fr. Most recent file is 3 years
old, and most of them are 6-7 years old, AFAICT.
Summary: https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contexttest/
Files: https://foundry.supelec.fr/scm/viewvc.php/?root=contexttest
This is also the suite described on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Test_suite

(3) The ConTeXt unofficial test suite
https://github.com/melmothx/context-unofficial-test-suite

I want to update the [[Test suite]] page to make it more accurate. So,
I'm asking y'all: any inaccuracies in the text at the bottom of this
e-mail?

Cheers,
Sietse


* The test suite at pragma-ade.com is Hans's test suite; he runs this
suite before uploading a new beta (most times). To contribute a test
to this suite, write it in an e-mail and send it to the mailing list.

QUESTION: when one downloads and unzips this file in a directory, how
does one run it?

* The test suite at github is managed by users, especially Marco
Patzer. To run the suite, just download it and run `run-suite.pl`.

* The test suite at foundry.supelec.fr is no longer being used.

QUESTION: are the tests in it already transferred to Hans or Marco's
test suite? If not, is that still something we want to do, or can we
just bury this suite entirely?
