They are not being run by any cron job and are no longer up -to date; it proved too time-consuming to keep everything going, so they -have been moribund for some years now. If anyone is interested, please -go to work on it. - -The general idea is to have a "knowngood" dvi or pdf file, and compare -it against the result of running with the current code. - -I wrote the DVI-comparing (which uses dvitype) script in Perl so it -would have a chance of running under Windows. I don't know if it really -does. Ditto the PDF-comparing script (which uses pdftoppm from the xpdf -distribution). - -The numbers in the directory names are just an arbitrary prioritizing -scheme, so simpler tests can be run before more complex ones. Several -tests can have the same priority number. - -I don't intend to try to make this any kind of exhaustive testing, we're -just trying to make sure the most obvious things aren't broken.
